Which document governs the practice of aeronautical engineering?

The practice of aeronautical engineering is governed by PD 1570, which stands for Presidential Decree No. 1570. This decree specifically focuses on the regulation and practice of engineering professions in the Philippines, including aeronautical engineering. It establishes the standards, practices, and licensing requirements for engineers in this field, ensuring that practitioners meet certain educational and professional criteria.

PD 1570 emphasizes the importance of safety and competence in aeronautical engineering, given the critical nature of the industry and its impact on air travel and safety. This decree is essential for maintaining standards in engineering education and practice, facilitating the professional development of engineers, and providing a framework for regulatory oversight.

In contrast, while other documents like RA 9266 and PD 458 may relate to different engineering fields or aspects of professional practice, they do not specifically encompass the regulations governing aeronautical engineering. RA 10963 relates to tax-related laws and does not pertain to the engineering profession. Thus, PD 1570 is the definitive document that governs aeronautical engineering practices specifically.
