Module Description:

Aviation Policy and Regulations

Aviation is a heavily regulated industry and both a global (ICAO) and regional (EU) level. Today’s aviation professional should be aware of, and familiar with, how the regulatory laws that apply to aviation. This module will provide an introduction for students to the regulatory environment within which aviation operates, at the Irish, European and international levels.

This module aims to empower aviation managers with an ability to assess the strengths and weaknesses of aviation regulation and thereby enable better management of operational and commercial functions. The provisions of aviation regulations that are most relevant to the management function will be explored so as to facilitate practical application to real world cases. As a module aimed at non-lawyers, the teaching approach will utilise plain English explanations of regulatory laws and make use of cases and practical examples as the main source of illustration.

An interactive approach will be taken to the delivery of lectures, with students encouraged to participate in class discussion. Topics will be explored against their historical backdrop, tracing the development of aviation regulation through its various stages and thereby providing context for contemporary issues facing the industry.

This module aims to develop the student understanding of leadership principles and enhance the students’ capacity to think strategically and better understand the organisational and leadership issues.
