Federal Aviation Regulations Explained Airport Edition

Airport operators and tenants have many opportunities and challenges.  There are a variety of government funding sources that can improve the safety and economic viability of an airport.  However, in return for these funds, airports must give grant assurances, promising not to discriminate among users, making the airfield a fair economic playing field.  Federal Aviation Regulations Explained Airport Edition gives readers an in-depth view of the regulatory issues that airport operators and tenants deal with.

Intended to increase safety and make common sense of the law, the Federal Aviation Regulations have become so detailed and complex that pilots have fond themselves saying "I know what is says, but what does it mean?".  To help answer the question "what does it mean?" the Federal Aviation Regulations Explained looks at Federal Register Preambles, FAA Advisory Circulars, the Aeronautical Information Manual, Cases, FAA Chief Counsel opinions, and other regulatory background.  Federal Aviation Regulations Explained is the only publication that also provides cross references and an index to help pilots see the regulatory "big picture".

Written by Kent Jackson and Lori Edwards, attorneys with the law firm of Jackson & Wade.  The firm promotes and fosters the aviation industry by guiding clients through the conflicting requirements of the FAA, IRS, and other international , federal, and local governing bodies.
