EAA's Legal Advisory Council is a group of attorneys who possess expertise in representing airmen in FAA enforcement actions, legal matters pertaining to FAA rulemaking, regulations and other matters pertaining to aviation law. The Legal Advisory Council helps provide EAA with the best possible information on regulatory issues that require particular expertise.
A major goal of the Legal Advisory Council is to promote the portion of the EAA mission statement that emphasizes the preservation of the privilege and right to fly of the general and sport aviation community. Specifically, the council believes that airmen must be made aware of their rights when dealing with the FAA in a potential enforcement matter.
In conjunction with that awareness, the council is promoting the knowledge of Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) and their effect on general and sport aviation. Most importantly, EAA feels that continued pilot training and the encouragement of safe aviation in conjunction with thorough knowledge of applicable FARs help preserve our privilege and right to fly.
Council members are available to EAA members and its chapters to answer basic legal questions and provide guidance from an attorney.
