Key Elements of the Annexes

Users/ Responsibility

-Licensing of flight, ground crews and air traffic

controllers.
-Human Factors Programme
-Periodic Health Examinations
-Rules are created and agreed upon internationally
-General Rules, Visual Flight Rules and Instrument Flight
Rules
-States can apply these rules in their designated
airspaces
-Right of way rules are similar to on the ground, but
SARPs state these clearer with reference to altitude as
well.
-Pilots must be informed of weather conditions they
would experience enroute
-Pilots are to report severe weather encountered in flight
to warn other aircraft in that area
-World Airways Forecast System
-International Airways Volcano Watch
-Standardisation of Aeronautical Charts
-States are obliged to provide Aeronautical Charts
include stating the specifications of the charts
-SI System
-Steps are being taking to get to standardization of Units
-Consistent of units needed

CAAs (CAAS) and Ministry of

Transport

-SARPs provide recommended safe operating practices

and criteria
-States are responsible for supervising operators
-Importance of Human Factors
-Pilot in Command has final say in whether flight
preparation is complete
-Flight crew work times are limited to prevent fatigue
-A certificate sample must be provided for use by States.
-Certificate must be in English or have an English
translation
-Certificate must be in aircraft at all times
-Aircraft must be easily identified and its nationality
- Aircraft must be designed, constructed and operated
with compliance to the requirements of the Registered
State of the aircraft
-Certificate of Airworthiness proves that aircraft is fit to fly
-Aircraft must be designed around the aerodrome that
the aircraft is to fly in, factoring terrain and weather
-Aircraft must still be able to perform at its minimum
requirements even if power is limited
- help facilitate the navigation by aircraft between
Contracting State Territories to prevent delays

Airlines

- Aeronautical communications, navigation and

surveillance

- Volume 1: defines the systems that are needed to

provide radio navigational aids.
- Volume 2 and 3: ground-ground communication and
air-ground communication.
- Volume 4: guidance on the secondary surveillance
radar and airborne collision avoidance system
- Volume 5: utilising aeronautical frequencies
Air Traffic Services
- preventing aircraft collisions, on ground or in the air
- states to implement systematic and air traffic services
safety management programmes
- states are also responsible for contingency plans to
ensure that air traffic can still flow orderly and smoothly
in disruptions
Search and Rescue
-Uncertainty Phase, Alert Phase and Distress Phase
- States are to provide SAR services if an incident or
accident in their territories or seas
-states and SAR services should respond when each of
these 3 phases are activated
Aircraft Accident and - reasons of accident must be investigated
Incident Investigation - cause can be known to prevent the same accident from
happening
- responsibility lies on the state where the accident or
incident happened
- safety recommendations being drafted and a final
report created to recommend practices to improve safety
in aviation
Aerodromes

- airspaces around aerodromes must be free from

obstacles and clear

- Visual aids surrounding and at the aerodrome must be
understood by all pilots around the world
-reducing the attraction of birds of an airport
- specifications of construction and equipment vehicles
near runways
- important in ensuring that information that is necessary
for air navigation is spread to others smoothly
- consistent and standardised to ensure that the data can
be understood
- aircraft must have a variety of information of services
- States have the responsibility of providing these
information to aircraft within their airspaces
-. Pre-flight information must also be provided and up to
date
- Volume 1: certification of noise will depend on the
aircraft classification
- Volume 2: specifications of emission of the aircraft
engines
- basis of ICAOs civil aviation security programme
- States must ensure that safety to all is a primary factor
in any safeguarding action states opt to enforce
-Safety precautions at aerodromes
