Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Civil Aviation shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Civil Aviation offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Civil Aviation at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Civil Aviation? Wrong! If the Civil Aviation is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Civil Aviation then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Civil Aviation? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Civil Aviation and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Civil Aviation wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Civil Aviation then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Civil Aviation site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Civil Aviation, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Civil Aviation, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

Civil aviation is one of two major categories of flying, representing all non-Military aviation, both private and commercial. Most of the countries in the world are members of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and work together to establish common standards and recommended practices for civil aviation through that agency.

Civil aviation includes two major categories:

• Scheduled air transport, including all passenger and cargo flights operating on regularly-scheduled routes; and
• General aviation (GA), including all other civil flights, private or commercial

Although scheduled air transport is the larger operation in terms of passenger numbers, GA is larger in the number of flights. In the U.S., GA carries 166 million passengers each year, more than any individual airline, though less than all the airlines combined.

Most countries also make a regulatory distinction based on whether aircraft are flown for hire:

• Commercial aviation includes most or all flying done for hire, from sightseeing in a small plane to charter flights to a hunting lodge to scheduled service on airlines; and
• Private aviation includes pilots flying for their own purposes (recreation, business meetings, etc.) without receiving any kind of remuneration.

All scheduled air transport is commercial, but general aviation can be either commercial or private. Normally, the pilot, aircraft, and operator must all be authorized to perform commercial operations through separate commercial licensing, registration, and operation certificates.

Civil Aviation Authorities The Convention on International Civil Aviation (the Chicago Convention) was originally established in 1944: it states that signatories should collectively work to harmonize and standardize the use of airspace for safety, efficiency and regularity of air transport. All the States signatory to the Chicago Convention, now 188, are obliged to implement the Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) of the Convention.

Each signatory country has a Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) (such as the Federal Aviation Administration in the United States) to oversee the following areas of civil aviation:

• Personnel Licensing — regulating the basic training and issuance of licenses and certificates.

• Flight Operations — carrying out safety oversight of commercial operators.

• Airworthiness — issuing certificates of registration and certificates of airworthiness to civil aircraft, and overseeing the safety of maintenance organizations.

• Aerodromes — designing and constructing aerodrome facilities.

• Air Traffic Services — managing the traffic in a country's airspace.
