GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Portuguese term or phrase:no capítulo
English translation:in the area of/in the scope of/regarding
Entered by: Mike (de Oliveira) Brady

Bus/Financial - Law: Contract(s)
Portuguese term or phrase: no capítulo
The sentence is: "Uma das funções principais da Autoridade Aeronáutica no capitulo da segurança de voo, é de exigir a correcção imediata das condições inseguras detectadas nas aeronaves."

This is in an official circular from an aviation authority.

Obviously the translation could be 'chapter', but I am wondering if this is an expression similar to 'a título de', in which case a better translation would be 'in the area of flight safety' and 'chapter' would be very wrong in English.

A Google search has pulled up some examples that seem to be along those lines.

Can someone tell me definitively if I am making things too complicated or not?

Many thanks. 'Regarding' is also an option (sorry I can't split points), but I think this captures it better. Another option is 'in the scope of'.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Patricia, but in the context of aviation, the expression is 'flight safety', as used by the International Civil Aviation Organisation. For example: http://www.icao.int/anb/humanfactors/
