Structure
The Code of Conduct covers all aspects of operating in the general aviation environment, including:
- General Responsibilities of Aviators
- Passengers and People on the Surface
- Training and Proficiency
- Security
- Environmental Issues
- Use of Technology
- Advancement and Promotion of General Aviation
For each aspect, the Code of Conduct covers governing principles (“minimize the discharge of fuel, oil, and other chemicals into the environment”) and lays out specific practical recommendation (“use a Gasoline Analysis Test Separator (GATS) jar or other environmentally sound device/procedure for all fuel sampling”). Where applicable, sourced commentary is used to substantiate principles and recommendations.
Recognizing the need for early socialization, recommendations for integrating the Code of Conduct into flight training (including sample lesson plans) are collected in Notes For Instructors.
The Code of Conduct is intended to be specialized by aircraft operation and to evolve over time and place. Versions are available for:
- gliders,
- light-sport aircraft
- seaplanes
- student pilots
- mechanics
- flight instructors
Foreign-language translations incorporate national and regionally-specific practices and regulations.
Notes for Prospective Implementers provides guidelines and resources for individuals and organizations adopting the Code of Conduct.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“I’m a Sunday School teacher, and I’ve always known that the structure of law is founded on the Christian ethic that you shall love the Lord your God and your neighbor as yourself—a very high and perfect standard. We all know the fallibility of man, and the contentions in society, as described by Reinhold Niebuhr and many others, don’t permit us to achieve perfection.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“The question is still asked of women: “How do you propose to answer the need for child care?” That is an obvious attempt to structure conflict in the old terms. The questions are rather: “If we as a human community want children, how does the total society propose to provide for them?””
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
“What is the structure of government that will best guard against the precipitate counsels and factious combinations for unjust purposes, without a sacrifice of the fundamental principle of republicanism?”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
