Objectives and Contextualisation

The aim of this module is twofold.

In the first subject the essential objective is the learning of the fundamental aspects of aeronautical law, so that the student is able to use the legislation, even if he does not have legal training. The student becomes familiar with the legal regulations, case law and the techniques of interpretation and application of aeronautical law.

The second subject aims to ensure that the student knows the axes of the behavior of people in the professional environment and develop the ability to manage them. Specifically, it is intended to know the technical resources to enable the strategic management of people, and to develop analytical, instrumental and emotional skills to apply in their field of action.

Competences

  • Communicate and justify conclusions clearly and unambiguously to both specialised and non-specialised audiences.
  • Continue the learning process, to a large extent autonomously
  • Follow the legal regulations governing management in the aeronautical sector, on the basis of understanding the specific concepts of aeronautical law.
  • Identify and understand the main elements in the behaviour of aeronautical professionals in order to manage them correctly.
  • Integrate knowledge and use it to make judgements in complex situations, with incomplete information, while keeping in mind social and ethical responsibilities.
  • Recognise the human, economic, legal and ethical dimension in professional practice.
  • Seek out new areas to open up within the field.
  • Use acquired knowledge as a basis for originality in the application of ideas, often in a research context.
  • Work collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams.

Assessment

In order for any of the evaluation elements to be considered in the formula for calculating the final grade of the module (according to their weights), their individual grade must be greater than or equal to 4.

All activities based on written reports must be submitted within the due dates indicated by the teacher. If a report-based activity is suspended, the student may re-submit his / her report in accordance with the corrections / indications provided by the teacher.

If a written test is suspended, the student will have the opportunity to repeat it.

The dates of recovery of exams, as well as the dates of re-delivery of reports of works will be communicated by the professor at the beginning of the course.

Next, the evaluation activities corresponding to each of the thematic blocks that make up the module are indicated.

M2-B1: Aeronautical Law     

  • Final exam. It consists of two parts:    
  • Theoric exam. It consists of 40 multiple choice questions.        
  • Development of a small practical case. The student will have 48 hours to develop and submit their proposal.   
  • Resolution of course exercises.    

The reevaluation of this block, if necessary, will consist of a reevaluation examination of the suspended matter. If approved, the final grade of the subject will be apt / unfit; that is, a 5 in the case of being fit.

M2-B2: Management of People in the Aeronautical Sector

  • Workbook: Also known as an album of cards, it consists of a folder of experiences, documents, images, photos and products selected and arranged by the student as evidence of their learning process and assimilation of the contents worked on in class. As an evaluation tool, it offers elements of analysis that extend the traditional evaluation criteria. The teacher will provide the pertinent instructions for the preparation of the workbook.
  • The reevaluation of this block, if necessary, will consist in carrying out a recovery work that will be assessed in terms of apt (5) or not suitable.

Important note: In order to have the right to be evaluated in this module, the minimum percentages of attendance to class indicated below must be accredited:

 - In the blended modality: 75%

 - In virtual mode: 50%

There is no differentiated treatment in the evaluation of repeaters.
