• Comprises of all member states Meetings

• Every 3 yrs, reviews policies and work done • Votes a Triennial budget

Structure (Contd.)  Council member states under 3 basis • States of chief importance in air transport, • States which make the largest contribution to the

provision of facilities for air navigation, • States whose designation will ensure that all major areas of the world are represented

 Standards and recommended practices  Assistance rendered by: • Air Navigation Commission (Technical matters), • The Air Transport Committee (Economic

matters), • The Committee on Joint Support of Air Navigation Services and the Finance Committee.

 The

Secretariat

Objectives Standardization Communicational

navigational surveillance/ air traffic management Regional planning Facilitation Economics Technical Cooperation for Development  Law

Strategic Objectives of ICAO (2005-10)  Safety - Enhance Global Civil Aviation Safety  Security - Enhance Global Civil Aviation

Security  Environmental Protection - Minimize The Adverse Effect Of Global Civil Aviation On The Environment  Efficiency - Enhance The Efficiency Of Aviation Operations  Continuity - Maintain The Continuity Of Aviation Operations  Rule Of Law - Strengthen Law Governing International Civil Aviation

ICAO rules and regulations  “The

panel of teletypewriter, formulated and assigned location indicators- 1957  4 letter codes for Aeronautical Fixed Stations… not airports • Currently more than 12000 of these location

indicators

 Divided

into AFS (Aeronautical Fixed Routing) areas assigned separate identifying letters • Non overlapping • Irrespective of the state boundaries

 NNN,

ZCZC cannot be used as they interfere with the AFS  I, J, Q, X remain unassigned

AFS India Four
