Reading (along with others) the avation law part of the PPL books.
Now i have only got into this and only done about 5 hours in the air (the weather has been the biggest pain in the :diablo:). Anyway i just have a few questions that i will ask the instructor but just though people out there might know answers to my questions
1) I simply (dont know why) dont get Article 32 and 33 because they both read the exasct same thing and contredict each other. Help Please?
2) The JAA is been taken over by the EASA but i simply dont understand it. The JAA simply a convention to make sure that all countires inside the european union operate the same types of system so there is no confusion (after the british goverment pushed for it). Now on the 27th Septemeber 2008(thanks my next flying lesson) it sounds like the EASA will take over the JAA. Is this convention going to carry on what the JAA are doing only under the European Union’s eye. So that every country joining the EU has the same operation of there aircraft and others or is it for everyone based in europe even if there not in the EU? And if it means Europe than Russia is classed as Europe in the Euro Cup so why dont they operate the same system
3) AIP where do i find that basically, and which documents should i read for a PPL?
All Answers will be greatley appreciated, Thanks Nick
EDIT: The books am reading are Air Pilots Manual by Air Pilot Publishing

Nick,
ANO article 32 applies to ICAO-compliant licences which are valid all over the world.
33 covers the medical requirements for the NPPL which only confers rights within the UK.
In addition to reading your training manuals, it’s a good idea to become familiar with the source documents. That’s mainly CAP393 which can be downloaded from the CAA web site.
The UK AIP is most easily accessed from the NATS AIS sight recently moved to http://www.nats-uk.ead-it.com the AIP is available without logging in, but you will need to register sooner or later in order to get NOTAM access for cross-country and local area flying. It’s free anyway.
As for explaining JAA and EASA, it is believed that as soon as somebody understands it, it will be replaced by something even more bizaar and confusing. It is also believed that this has already happened (with apologies to Douglas Adams).
