Komparace letecké legislativy v oblasti licencování leteckého personálu v EU, USA a Kanadě

Abstract

This article is focused on comparison and analysis of the aviation legislation governing the licensing of aviation personnel in the European Union, the United States of America, and Canada. The goal is to compare the differences in the legislative framework for aviation personnel licensing and the potential cross-border transfer and validation of licenses in between these regions. Furthermore, this work examines the implementation of international standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the role of national and supranational organizations, including EASA, FAA, and Transport Canada. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) oversees the standardization of legislation among EU member states. One of the many responsibilities of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) includes licensing aviation personnel in the United States of America. In Canada, matters of aviation legislative issues, including licensing of aviation personnel, are managed by Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA). Despite the existence of a requirement for international unification of aviation personnel licensing, differences can be found between individual national legislations, and therefore, in the case of foreign license validation, fulfillment of specific requirements is necessary for their international transfer and recognition.
