Air Law
The Air Law paper tests the Namibian legal framework rather than general ICAO theory: the Civil Aviation Act 14 of 1998, the Namibian Civil Aviation Regulations (NCARs), the AIP, and the privileges and limits of a PPL. Expect questions on documents, right-of-way, VFR cruising levels and licence validity.
Law and hierarchy
The Act creates the NCAA and empowers it to make regulations. The NCARs implement ICAO Standards; an ICAO Annex by itself is not automatically the operational rule in Namibia. Use the NCAR Part and the AIP for the actual requirement. Part 61 covers licensing, Part 91 general operations, Part 67 medical standards and Part 141 training organisations.
PPL privileges
A PPL may act as PIC of an aircraft in private operations but not for hire or reward. You must carry a valid licence, Class 2 medical, certificate of registration and certificate of airworthiness; radio-equipped aircraft need a station licence. Passengers may not pay for the flight except under the cost-sharing rules.
Rules of the air
Converging aircraft normally give way to the right; head-on both turn right; the overtaken aircraft has right of way; landing aircraft have priority. Use the semicircular rule published in the AIP.
Worked example
You plan a VFR leg on magnetic track 275° at 6,500 ft. The semicircular table puts 180–359° on even thousands, so 6,500 ft is not a valid level; 6,000 or 8,000 ft is. The trap is using true track or treating 6,500 as 'odd/even plus 500' without checking the table.
Traps
Assuming ICAO Annex 2 is directly enforceable; forgetting medical validity; believing right-of-way removes the duty to avoid collision; confusing a PPL with a CPL.
