Overview

The online and virtual Aviation Law Course, designed by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, is part of the U.S. Aviation Law Diploma in partnership with IATA and introduces participants to administrative law and the role of the FAA in the rule making process. Participants will learn the framework for government regulations and develop a legal and regulatory environment as it pertains to the aviation and aerospace industry.
