About this title

Synopsis

Just as an attorney needs to understand the legal system, an aviation professional needs to understand the aviation regulatory system. Pathways is designed for the aviation student and the working professional to provide an in-depth examination of the FAA regulatory system - taking a proactive stance in compliance to achieve the highest degree of safety as stipulated by U.S. Code.

Pathways provides:
* Overviews and in-depth coverage of the four pathways to compliance that frame the U.S. aviation regulatory system (rulemaking, certification, oversight, and enforcement)
* Thorough exploration of the complex relationships between safety and compliance
* Examination of the role the systems approach plays in upgrading the U.S. aviation regulatory system
* Understanding of systems theory and its role in the regulatory process
* Students and professionals with the ability to apply the principles of systems thinking into their studies and operation
