Air Law

This means that you cannot simply rely on reading the EASA regulations on

EASA’s website, but you must also familiarize yourself with the Danish

regulations.

If there are discrepancies, the Danish interpretation applies in Denmark.

Other countries than Denmark may have made their own interpretations,

which you should also be aware of if you intend to fly to another country.

Navigating the regulations can be difficult. If you stick to the Danish rules, the

relevant authority is the Danish Transport Agency.

“The Danish Transport Agency (Trafikstyrelsen) is the authority for civil aviation
in Denmark. This means that we set regulations for the practice of aviation and

oversee that the regulations are followed,” is stated in the introduction to the

National Legislation on the Danish Transport Agency’s website.

EASA's areas of competence now cover areas such as airworthiness, flight
operations, and certification of aviation personnel. Over time, EASA's areas of

competence will also include air traffic control, aviation services, and airports.

1.2.3 Danish Legislation

Denmark introduced its first aviation law in 1937 with the "Aviation Act"
(Luftfartsloven). The law established basic and overarching rules for the

operation, safety, and oversight of aircraft, but lacked detailed regulations for

various parts of the sector.
