1.3    STRUCTURE OF THE DOCUMENT
                  This document is structured in terms of six main parts:

Part A provides the current regulatory and institutional context, as well as the
                      vision, mission, objectives, goals and principles;

Part B addresses South African international obligations in terms of civil aviation,
                      in particular in terms of safety and security, and confirms the institutional
                      arrangements to meet these obligations;
                      Part C deals with aviation infrastructure, including airports, integrated planning and
                      land use management for airports within their surrounding areas, and airspace;
                      Part D covers issues relating to aviation operations, including operations for
                      reward and those not for reward, as well as RPAS and environment considerations
                      related to aviation operations. The term "General Aviation" (GA) means different
                      things to different authorities; there is no universally accepted definition for GA.
                      Therefore, all the different aspects of what people may consider part of air
                      transport and general aviation under different definitions have been dealt with
                      individually in this document depending on the nature of the activity, namely:
                        Activities for reward (commercial): Scheduled (international and domestic) and
                         non-scheduled air transport operations, general air services (including all facets
                         of aerial work), air ambulances, and adventure aviation

Note that safety and security regulation in terms of the Civil Aviation Act, the Air
                         Services Licensing Act and the International Air Services Act apply equally to
                         scheduled, non-scheduled and general air services when such air services are
                         operated for reward.
                        Activities that are not for reward (non-commercial): Corporate Aviation, training
                         or instruction in respect of flying an aircraft, sport and recreation, and private
                         use.
                         Part E gives consideration to issues that will support the future development
                         and growth of civil aviation     in South Africa, including human resource
                         development and innovation, research and development; and
