International civil aviation organization
The main body concerned with civil aviation is the United Nations agency ICAO (the International Civil Aviation Organization) set up in 1944. That year delegates of 52 states met in Chicago and worked out the 'Convention on International Civil Aviation' (Chicago Convention), International Air Services Transit Agreement and International Air Transport Agreement. From 1944 to 1947 there was the Provisional ICAO (PICAO). On the 4th of April 1947 26 states ratified the 'Chicago Convention' and ICAO came into existence.
ICAO sets the standards of international flight safety and technical matters.
The aims of the ICAO are determined as follows: to develop principles and techniques of international air navigation and foster planning and development of international air transport.
ICAO has a sovereign body, the Assembly, and a governing body, the Council.
The Assembly has 182 members (each contracting state) and meets at least every 3 years, decisions become valid by majority of votes.
The Council consists of 33 members and is elected by the Assembly for a 3-year term.
It is the responsibility of the Council to adopt 'Standards and Recommended Practices' (SARPS) and incorporate these as Annexes to the 'Convention on International Civil Aviation'. There are eighteen Annexes. Annex 15 concerns Aeronautical Information Services.
The ICAO head office is situated in Montreal, Canada.
The European ICAO bodies are European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC), and European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation (Eurocontrol).
Topic 11 aeronautical information service
One of the most vital roles in support of international civil aviation is filled by the aeronautical information service (AIS).The object of the aeronautical information service (AIS) is to ensure the flow of information necessary for the safety, regularity and efficiency of international air navigation.
Annex 15 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation defines how an aeronautical information service shall receive and/or originate, collate or assemble, edit, format, publish/store and distribute specified aeronautical information/data. The goal is to satisfy the need for uniformity and consistency in the provision of aeronautical information/data that is required for the operational use by international civil aviation.
The operator of any type of aircraft, be it small private aircraft or large transport aircraft, must have available a variety of information concerning the air navigation facilities and services that may be expected to be used. For example, the operator must know the regulations concerning entry into and transit of the airspace of each State in which operations will be carried out, as well as what aerodromes, heliports, navigation aids, meteorological services, communication services and air traffic services are available and the procedures and regulations associated with them. The operator must also be informed, often on very short notice, of any change affecting the operation of this facilities and services and must know of any airspace restrictions or hazards likely to affect flights. While this information can nearly always be provided before take-off, it must, in some instances, be provided during the flight.
The information handled by AIS may vary widely in terms of the duration of its applicability. For example, information related to the airports and their facilities may remain valid for many years while changes in the availability of those facilities (For instance, due to construction or repair) will only be valid for a relatively short period of time.
Therefore, aeronautical information is handled differently depending on its urgency, operational significance, scope, volume and the length of time it will remain valid and relevant to the users. Annex 15 specifies that aeronautical information shall be published as an integrated aeronautical information package. It is composed of the following elements: Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP), including amendment service, AIP supplements, NOTAM, pre-flight information bulletins (PIB), aeronautical information circulars (AIC), checklists and lists of valid NOTAM. Each element is used to distribute specific types of aeronautical information.
