Register today for ACC's Navigating the Legal and Ethical Requirements for Aviation Professionals Virtual Workshop on September 28, 2023 from 10:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. ET. Breaks are provided throughout the day for the convenience of attendees to catch up on emails, grab lunch, and return calls.

This ACC workshop will provide an overview of the unique characteristics of airport law that planners and engineers need to understand and discuss the various ethical requirements that aviation professionals operate under while performing their duties.  With a combination of more than 180 years of aviation experience, the Workshop speakers represent the diverse perspectives of certified planners (AICP), professional engineers (P.E.), attorneys (JD), and accredited airport executives (A.A.E.). Using a blend of presentations, panel discussions, and review of case studies, participants will learn about the differences between the code of ethics for engineers, planners, airport management professionals and attorneys and the application of each to airport projects. Participants will apply the information gathered from the workshop in an interactive evaluation of a case study at the conclusion of the workshop.

Workshop Sessions

• Session 1: Establishing the Legal Foundation – This session will begin with an introduction to the speakers and the format for the workshop. The session will then focus on providing a baseline of understanding for participants on the specifics of legal aspects of airport projects.     
• Session 2: Understanding the Code of Ethics of Various Professions – In this session, speakers will discuss the Code of Ethics for each of their respective professions including accredited aviation executives (AAE), professional engineers (PE), certified planners (AICP) and attorneys (JD). They will also review how these codes may impact their decision-making process when working with airports and stakeholders.     
• Session 3: Lessons Learned from the Trenches – In this session, speakers will share lessons learned from past projects where they had to navigate both the legal and ethical aspects of projects. Speakers will highlight areas where conflicts can often arise with the legal requirements or the ethical aspects of projects and discuss how aviation professionals can be prepared to address these issues.      
• Session 4: Putting it All Together – A Case Study Exercise – Participants will use the information they have acquired from the previous three sessions to review a case study, in breakout groups, and discuss the legal and ethical implications of the case study from the perspective of the airport attorney, engineer, planner, and airport manager. They will reconvene to discuss their findings to wrap up the workshop.
