Welcome to Aviation Regulatory Watch, your trusted source for news, insights, and updates from the world of aviation regulations and policy.
This site was founded by a retired aviation advisor with over nine years of professional experience tracking ICAO, FAA, IATA, DGCA, and other global regulatory developments.
During my time advising stakeholders in the aviation sector, I regularly compiled and analyzed official guidance documents, airworthiness directives, circulars, and industry standards.
I created this platform to continue that work — delivering timely, accurate, and easy-to-understand summaries for aviation professionals, compliance teams, students, and policy enthusiasts.
AviationRegWatch focuses exclusively on regulatory content — cutting through technical language to explain what’s changing, who it affects, and why it matters. We aim to be your go-to resource for staying compliant, informed, and prepared.
Topics we cover:
- ICAO standards and SARPs updates
- FAA airworthiness directives and notices
- IATA policies, environmental goals, and slot coordination
- DGCA (India) CARs, AICs, and policy guidance
- Aviation safety, drone regulations, and compliance tools
Whether you’re an aviation consultant, airline manager, regulator, or researcher, we’re glad to have you here.
Fly compliant. Stay current.
