Why study Aviation Law and Professional Pilot Licence?

Dlaczego warto:

A distinctive blend of law and pilot training

The Aviation Law and Professional Pilot Licence programme at Lazarski University in Warsaw uniquely combines legal and business education with structured pilot training. Students build a dual competence profile: they learn how the aviation system is governed and, in parallel, how to operate safely and professionally in the cockpit and on the flight line.

A pathway to a professional pilot licence

The study plan is designed to guide learners towards a professional pilot licence aligned with European standards. Academic modules and flight training complement each other, so theoretical mastery supports practical skills. Graduates leave with a coherent foundation for progressing through advanced ratings and joining airline recruitment processes.

Robust focus on aviation regulation

A strong legal component covers carrier liability, passenger protection, operational safety frameworks, and regulatory compliance. Understanding how law shapes day-to-day procedures prepares future pilots to work effectively with operations, safety and compliance teams, and to make better decisions when regulations intersect with real-world operational pressures.

English as the language of operations

Studying in English mirrors the communication standards of global aviation. Students become comfortable with documentation, checklists and technical correspondence, and gain confidence using precise, concise phraseology. This linguistic fluency strengthens cockpit communication, briefings with ground teams, and interactions with international stakeholders.

Modern, scenario-based learning environment

Teaching emphasises realistic scenarios, standard operating procedures and disciplined checklist use. Simulated conditions, procedural training and debrief culture help embed good habits early. Students practise workload management and situational awareness long before the most demanding stages of airborne training.

Practitioners and personalised mentoring

Instructors bring insight from airlines, airports and regulatory bodies. Their mentoring helps students plan each stage of training, prepare for assessments, and sequence ratings sensibly alongside university commitments. Practical guidance on study routines, logbook discipline and interview preparation adds tangible value.

Access to Warsaw’s aviation ecosystem

Being based in the capital makes it easier to engage with industry events, employers and professional communities. Proximity to sector institutions supports networking, study visits and opportunities to observe real operational environments, strengthening motivation and career awareness throughout the degree.

Safety culture and professional ethics

The programme promotes a safety-first mindset: threat and error management, reporting attitudes, and respect for procedures. Students learn to identify risks early, communicate clearly under pressure, and uphold ethical standards that protect passengers, crew and operators in routine and non-routine situations.

Human factors and teamwork

Crew resource management, leadership and communication are developed deliberately, not left to chance. From briefings to post-flight reviews, learners practise assertiveness, resilience and decision-making. These skills are essential in the cockpit and equally relevant across operations, planning and safety oversight roles.

Versatile aviation career outcomes

Combining aviation law with pilot training opens doors to airline flight decks, training organisations, operations centres, compliance and safety departments, and aviation services. The Lazarski University profile gives graduates flexibility to navigate market changes while staying on a clear pathway toward responsible, high-stakes professional roles.

Definitions and quotes

Aviation
Aviation, or air transport, refers to the activities surrounding mechanical flight and the aircraft industry. Aircraft includes fixed-wing and rotary-wing types, morphable wings, wing-less lifting bodies, as well as lighter-than-air craft such as balloons and airships.
Law
Law is a system of rules that are created and enforced through social or governmental institutions to regulate behavior. Law is a system that regulates and ensures that individuals or a community adhere to the will of the state. State-enforced laws can be made by a collective legislature or by a single legislator, resulting in statutes, by the executive through decrees and regulations, or established by judges through precedent, normally in common law jurisdictions. Private individuals can create legally binding contracts, including arbitration agreements that may elect to accept alternative arbitration to the normal court process. The formation of laws themselves may be influenced by a constitution, written or tacit, and the rights encoded therein. The law shapes politics, economics, history and society in various ways and serves as a mediator of relations between people.
Professional
A professional is a member of a profession or any person who earns their living from a specified professional activity. The term also describes the standards of education and training that prepare members of the profession with the particular knowledge and skills necessary to perform their specific role within that profession. In addition, most professionals are subject to strict codes of conduct, enshrining rigorous ethical and moral obligations. Professional standards of practice and ethics for a particular field are typically agreed upon and maintained through widely recognized professional associations, such as the IEEE. Some definitions of "professional" limit this term to those professions that serve some important aspect of public interest and the general good of society.
Aviation
Fleets are not confined to the ocean, but now sail over the land. … All the power of the British Navy has not been able to prevent Zeppelins from reaching England and attacking London, the very heart of the British Empire. Navies do not protect against aerial attack. … Heavier-than-air flying machines of the aeroplane type have crossed right over the heads of armies, of million of men, armed with the most modern weapons of destruction, and have raided places in the rear. Armies do not protect against aerial war.
Alexander Graham Bell in "Preparedness for Aerial Defense", Addresses Before the Eleventh Annual Convention of the Navy League of the United States, Washington, D.C., April 10-13, 1916 (1916), 70.
Law
If you reason instead of repeating what is taught you; if you analyze the law and strip off those cloudy fictions with which it has been draped in order to conceal its real origin, which is the right of the stronger, and its substance, which has ever been the consecration of all the tyrannies handed down to mankind through its long and bloody history; when you have comprehended this, your contempt for the law will be profound indeed. You will understand that to remain the servant of the written law is to place yourself every day in opposition to the law of conscience, and to make a bargain on the wrong side; and, since this struggle cannot go on forever, you will either silence your conscience and become a scoundrel, or you will break with tradition, and you will work with us for the utter destruction of all this injustice
Peter Kropotkin, "An Appeal to the Young" (1880).
Law
It is my province to lay down the law. Every lawyer knows that the law is the result of a great deal of learning.
Erie, J., Queen v. Dowling (1848), 7 St. Tr. (N. S.) 438.
