ICAO Convention on International Civil Aviation Annexes 1 to 19 original text

Interested in ICAO Annexes, I spent time collecting all the Annexes in Chinese, and Annex 19 "Safety Management" which is not in the table, and share it here!

Annex 1

Convention on International Civil Aviation

Licensing of Personnel

As long as air travel is indispensable for pilots and other aircrew and ground personnel, their qualifications, skills and training will continue to be the basic guarantees of efficient and safe operation. Proper training and licensing of personnel also instills confidence among nations, provides international recognition and acceptance of personnel qualifications and licenses, and increases passenger confidence in aviation.

Annex 2

Convention on International Civil Aviation

Rules of the Air

Air travel must be safe and efficient. This requires, in particular, a set of internationally agreed air rules. These rules, established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), are comprised of the general rules, visual flight rules and instrument flight rules contained in annex 2. They apply without exception over the high seas and, to the extent that they do not conflict with the rules of the States being overflown, over the territory of those States. The captain of an aircraft is responsible for compliance with these air rules.

Annex 3

Convention on International Civil Aviation

International Aviation Meteorological Services

Pilots are required to be aware of the meteorological conditions of the route to be flown and the destination airport.

The objective of meteorological services, as stated in Annex 3, is to promote the safety, efficiency and regularity of air navigation. This is achieved by providing the necessary meteorological information to operators, flight crews, air traffic services, search and rescue units, airport authorities and other aviation-related parties. Close liaison between providers and users of meteorological information is essential.

Annex 4

Convention on International Civil Aviation

Aeronautical Charts

The air world, by its very nature, has no knowledge of geographic or political boundaries, and therefore it requires the use of maps that are different from those used for ground transportation. The ready availability of realistic, complete and authoritative sources of navigational information is essential for the safe operation of air flight, and aeronautical charts are able to serve as a convenient medium for the provision of the above information in an easily manageable, compressed and coordinated manner. It is often said that a picture is worth thousands of words, but today's more sophisticated charts are much more than that.

Aeronautical charts not only provide the two-dimensional information commonly found on most maps, but they also depict the air traffic services system in three dimensions. The vast majority of ICAO countries produce aeronautical charts, and many sectors of the aviation community refer to them for planning and for air traffic control and navigation purposes. Without global standardization of aeronautical charts, it is difficult for pilots and other chart users to effectively locate and interpret important navigational information. Charts produced in accordance with recognized ICAO standards promote the safe and efficient flow of air traffic.

Annex 5

Convention on International Civil Aviation

Units of Measurement Used in Air and Ground Operations

The issue of units of measure used in international aviation can be traced back to the origins of ICAO itself. At the International Civil Aviation Conference held in Chicago in 1944, the participants recognized the importance of a ****same system of measurement and adopted a resolution calling upon States to use the metric system as the basic international standard.

Annex 6

Convention on International Civil Aviation

Operation of Aircraft

Part I-International Carriage by Commercial Air-Fixed-wing Aircraft.

Part II-International General Aviation-Fixed-wing Aircraft.

Part III-International Operations-Helicopters.

In brief, the essence of Annex 6 is that the operation of aircraft engaged in international air transport must be standardized to the extent possible to ensure the highest degree of safety and efficiency.

Annex 8

Convention on International Civil Aviation

Aircraft Airworthiness

In the interest of safety, aircraft must be designed, constructed and operated in accordance with the relevant airworthiness requirements of the State of registration of the aircraft. Accordingly, an airworthiness certificate is issued to an aircraft declaring it airworthy.

Annex 9

Convention on International Civil Aviation

Simplified Procedures

The Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) for Simplified Procedures (FAL) are derived from a number of provisions of the Chicago Convention. Article 37 of the Convention commits ICAO to develop and revise from time to time International Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) and procedures for customs and immigration procedures.

Article 22 of the Convention requires Contracting States to take all practicable measures to facilitate and expedite the movement of aircraft between the territories of the Contracting States, in particular in the enforcement of immigration, quarantine, customs and clearance laws, in order to prevent unnecessary delays to aircraft, crews, passengers and cargo. Article 23 of the Convention provides that each Contracting State undertakes to establish, as it considers practicable, customs and immigration procedures relating to international navigation in accordance with measures established or recommended by this Convention.

Annex 10

Convention on International Civil Aviation

Telecommunications by Air

(Volumes I, II, III, IV and V)

Three of the most complex and fundamental elements of international civil aviation are aeronautical communications, navigation and surveillance. These elements are covered by Annex 10 of the Convention.

Annex 10 is organized into five volumes:

Volume I-Radio-navigation facilities.

Volume II-Communication Procedures (including those with PANS status).

Volume III-Communication Systems.

Part 1-Digital Data Communication Systems.

Part 2-Voice Communication Systems.

Volume IV-Surveillance Radar and Collision Avoidance Systems.

Volume V-Use of the Aeronautical Radio Spectrum.

The five volumes of this annex contain Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs), Procedures for Navigational Services (PANS), and guidance material related to aeronautical communication, navigation, and surveillance systems.

Annex 11

Convention on International Civil Aviation

AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES

Regulation of air traffic was virtually unknown in 1944. Today, air traffic control, flight information and warning services, collectively known as air traffic services, occupy an important place among the indispensable ground support facilities that ensure the safe and efficient operation of air traffic worldwide. Annex 11 to the Chicago Convention defines air traffic services and sets out the worldwide standards and recommended measures applicable to the provision of those services.

Annex 12

Convention on International Civil Aviation

Search and Rescue

Search and rescue services are organized for the purpose of rescuing persons in apparent distress and in need of assistance. The need to rapidly locate and rescue survivors of aircraft accidents has led to the inclusion of a set of internationally agreed standards and recommended measures in ICAO Annex 12 - Search and Rescue (SAR).

Annex 13

Convention on International Civil Aviation

Investigations of Aircraft Accidents and Accident Symptoms

The cause of an aircraft accident or serious accident symptom must be identified in order to prevent a recurrence. The best way to identify the cause is through an investigation conducted in an appropriate manner. To emphasize this point, Annex 13 states that the purpose of an accident or accident symptom investigation is prevention.

Annex 14

Convention on International Civil Aviation

Aerodromes

Volume I - Design and Operation of Airports.

Volume II - Heliports.

Annex 14 is notable for the wide range of topics it contains. It spans from the planning of airfields and heliports to specific details such as switching times for auxiliary power supplies; from civil engineering to lighting design; and from the provision of complex rescue and firefighting equipment to the simple requirement to keep airfields free of birds. The rapidly changing industry that airports must support compounds the impact of these plethora of topics on the annex. New aircraft types, growth in aircraft operations, operations in low visibility conditions, and technological advances in airport equipment ****also make Annex 14 one of the most rapidly changing annexes.

In 1990, after 39 revisions, the annex was divided into two volumes, Volume I dealing with the design and operation of airfields and Volume II dealing with the design of heliports.

Annex 15

Convention on International Civil Aviation

Aeronautical Intelligence Services

Aeronautical Intelligence Services (AIS) is one of the most little-known, yet important roles in support of international civil aviation. The goal of AIS is the flow of information necessary to ensure the safety, regularity and efficiency of international air navigation.

Annex 16

Convention on International Civil Aviation

Environmental Protection (Volumes I and II)

Annex 16 (Volumes I and II) is concerned with the protection of the environment from the effects of aircraft noise and emissions from aircraft engines-two issues that were hardly considered at the time of the signing of the Chicago Convention. little consideration was given to these two issues at the time of the signing of the Chicago Convention.

Annex 17

Convention on International Civil Aviation

Security - Protection of International Civil Aviation Against Acts of Unlawful Interference

The dramatic increase in violent crime in the late 1960s had a serious impact on the security of civil aviation and led to the convening of the Special Session of the Assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in June 1970 to address the issue. which was convened in June 1970. One of the resolutions of that Assembly called for provisions to be made in existing or new annexes to the Chicago Convention specifically to deal with the problem of unlawful interference, in particular unlawful seizure of aircraft. Following the work of the Committee on Navigation, the Committee on Air Transport, and the Committee on Unlawful Interference, the Council on March 22, 1974, adopted standards and recommended measures relating to security, designated as Annex 17 - Security.

This annex provides the basis for the ICAO Civil Aviation Security Program and for seeking to prevent acts of unlawful interference with civil aviation and its facilities. The measures taken by ICAO worldwide to prevent and combat acts of unlawful interference with civil aviation are essential to the future of civil aviation and the wider international community.

Annex 18

Convention on International Civil Aviation

Safe Transportation of Dangerous Goods by Air

More than half of the goods carried by all forms of transportation in the world are dangerous goods-explosives, corrosive, flammable, toxic, and even radioactive substances. These dangerous goods are critical to a wide range of industrial, commercial, medical, and research needs and processes around the globe.

Annex 19

Convention on International Civil Aviation

Security Management
