In the law of compensation it is generally recognized that a causal relation must exist between the loss or damage for which compensation is sought and the act or omission of which complaint is made. If the person suffering damage cannot establish such relationship one of the main conditions for receiving compensation is unfulfilled.

It concerns the chain of causation leading up to the phenomenon, for example an accident, which is the established cause of the damage.

The subject of the legal status of the aircraft commander is to a large extent regulated by all national legal systems. A number reasons have led authorities in each country to legislate on aviation on military grounds as well as for safety reasons.

Depuis toujours, l'homme a envié la facilité avec laquelle l'oiseau se meut dans les airs, et inlassablement il fait des recherches et des expériences qui lui permettraient d'en faire autant.

Mais l'avion à ailes fixes n'est pas la solution suprême que recherche l'homme, parce qu'il ne pourra jamais se libérer de certaines servitudes qui lui sont inhérentes: il est et restera esclave de la vitesse et de l'infrastructure.
