The World Of Aviation

As a contracting state, the Government of Malaysia ratifies the Chicago Convention by the Laws of Malaysia, Civil Aviation Act (Amendment) 2003. It extends the Government control on the nations’ civil aviation activities and is the law of the land. The regulations prescribed under the Act are found in Malaysian Civil Airworthiness Regulations (MCAR) 1996 enacted on 1st April, 1996.
Prior to the MCAR, the British Air Navigation Order (ANO) was adopted as the source of Malaysian civil aviation regulations. Of our interest is that the current UK law of the land is ANO 2000

The conduct of civil aviation in Malaysia falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transport. The Ministry of Transport has delegated its powers to the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA). A Director General (DGCA) who reports to the Minister of Transport heads the DCA. The DGCA may delegate any of his powers to any person as he sees fit.
