Abstract: The study of the place of aviation security in the structure of transport security is conditioned by theoretical and practical needs in determining the need to preserve or exclude the existing dual legal regulation of legal relations by the norms of Russian air legislation and legislation in the field of transport security. Currently, the legal norms regulating: the definition of organizations authorized to protect air transport; the definition of requirements for the protection of air transport, including inspection measures; certification and training of specialists (personnel) directly performing functions in the field of aviation security are duplicated. Based on the comparison of concepts, content and principles of transport and aviation security, the general and special features in their legal regulation as a whole and private are revealed. The purpose of the study was an attempt to define the concept of development of Russian legislation in the field of aviation security from acts of unlawful interference, taking into account the draft law "On Amendments to the Federal Law "On Transport Security" and Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation" developed by the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation.    The analysis made it possible to draw conclusions that the draft law proposed by the Ministry of Transport of Russia radically changes the state approach to regulating legal relations in the field of aviation security. It seems necessary to conduct additional discussions and assess the regulatory impact of the proposed draft law on the possibility of developing the Russian aviation business in the conditions of abandonment of the federal aviation security system. Based on the analysis, the author's concepts of "aviation security" and "act of unlawful interference" are proposed, the necessity of making appropriate amendments to Article 83 of the Air Code of the Russian Federation is substantiated. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that an industry approach is proposed in the public administration of the legal relations under consideration, taking into account the specifics of air transport and a significant amount of international law on the protection of aviation.

Some scientists consider the existence of norms fixing the rules for ensuring aviation security as "a traditional sectoral and non-systemic approach to security issues" [6, p. 34]. However, the specifics of air transport, a significant amount of international law on the protection of aviation require a balanced sectoral approach to legal regulation and public administration in this area. At the same time, it is the sectoral approach that will ensure coordination of interaction between all subjects of public administration in the field of aviation security.

Conclusion

It is proposed to preserve the current federal aviation security system approved by the Interdepartmental Commission on Aviation Safety, Civil Aviation Safety and Facilitation of April 4, 2019, giving it a regulatory character. The current federal aviation security system complies with the provisions of international conventions and agreements, contains full requirements for legal entities operating airports, airlines, Russian and foreign aircraft operators, authorities and other entities operating in the field of civil aviation.

At the heart of the concept of the development of Russian legislation in the field of ensuring the protection of aviation from acts of unlawful interference, it seems necessary to use the norms of international law and national air legislation.

To date, there are no significant legal grounds for abandoning the well-established concept of "aviation security" in legislation and law enforcement practice, its replacement with the concept of "transport security" will not allow to harmonize national legislation with international law.

To exclude the existing excessive regulatory legal regulation, it is proposed to discuss the possibility of amending Article 83 of the Air Code of the Russian Federation, providing that the regulatory legal regulation of relations arising in the field of aviation security is carried out in accordance with the Federal Law "On Transport Security", taking into account the specifics established by Chapter XII of the Air Code of the Russian Federation.

Aviation security is proposed to be understood as the state of security of air transport infrastructure facilities, civil aviation aircraft used for commercial air transportation and (or) performing aviation work from acts of unlawful interference. Under the act of unlawful interference is an illegal action (inaction) that threatens the safe operation of air transport infrastructure facilities, civil aviation aircraft used for commercial air transportation and (or) performing aviation work, which entailed harm to human life and health, material damage or created a threat of such consequences.

It is also necessary to legislate that aviation security is provided by the aviation security services of airfields or airports, transport security units, aviation security services of operators (aviation enterprises), as well as authorized bodies endowed with this right by federal laws.

The practical significance of this study lies in the fact that the practical recommendations formulated by the author determine the possibility of their application in order to improve the national administrative legislation on aviation security.

The main direction of further research could be to identify areas for improvement and unification of approaches in the implementation of federal state control (supervision) in the field of transport and aviation security.
