Vanderbilt Law Review

Conflicts of Law--Federal Preemption--Aviation Law

Appellant-defendants, the United States' and a national airline whose plane had been involved in a mid-air collision while under radar direction from the FAA, agreed to a settlement of the resulting actions for wrongful death that had been initiated in various federal district courts and consolidated in the Southern District of Indiana.

Allegheny Airlines, Inc. V. United States (Case Note), Gerald S. Reamey Jan 1975

Allegheny Airlines, Inc. V. United States (Case Note), Gerald S. Reamey

Faculty Articles

Under Allegheny Airlines, the United States Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit held that a flying school/aircraft owner is engaged in a joint enterprise with its student pilots and is vicariously liable for the student’s negligent acts. This Court and others have developed the principle that the vicarious liability of an aircraft owner for the actions of the pilot is dependent upon the existence of a principal/agent relationship between the owner and pilot.
