ICAO
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is an agency of the United Nations and defines the principles and techniques of international air navigation and fosters the planning and development of international air transport to ensure safe and orderly growth.
The Convention on International Civil Aviation (also The Convention on International Civil Aviation (also known as the Chicago Convention), was signed on 7 December 1944 by 52 States and sets forth the purpose of ICAO.
The ICAO Council adopts standards and recommended practices (SARPS) concerning air navigation for international civil aviation and publishes them as Annexes to the Convention.
There are currently 190 contracting states.
-
ICAO Organisational Structure
The ICAO Assembly, composed of representatives from all Contracting States is the sovereign body of ICAO. It meets every three years, reviewing in detail the work of the Organization and setting policy for the coming years.
The ICAO Council, the governing body which is elected by the Assembly for a three-year term, is composed of 36 States. As the governing body, the Council gives continuing direction to the work of ICAO. It is in the Council that Standards and Recommended Practices are adopted and incorporated as Annexes to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. The Council is assisted by the Air Convention on International Civil Aviation. The Council is assisted by the Air Navigation Commission on technical matters
The ICAO Secretariat, headed by a Secretary General, is divided into five main divisions: the Air Navigation Bureau, the Air Transport Bureau, the Technical Co-operation Bureau, the Legal Bureau, and the Bureau of Administration and Services.
ICAO works in close co-operation with other members of the United Nations family such as the World Meteorological Organization, the International Telecommunication Union, the International Maritime Organization and others. Non-governmental organizations which also participate in ICAO's work include the International Air Transport Association, the Airports Council International, the International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations, and the International Council of Aircraft Owners

Assembly Resolution A36-13
Statement of continuing policies related to air navigation, including procedures for the development of SARPs
SARPs consist of broad, mature and stable provisions specifying functional and performance requirements
Objectives: safety, efficiency and interoperability
-
Assembly Resolution A36-13 (cont)
ICAO should utilize, to the maximum extent possible, and subject to the adequacy of a verification and validation process, the work of other recognized standards-making organizationsother recognized standards-making organizations
Where deemed appropriate by the Council, this work should be referenced in ICAO documentation
Provides a connection between the SARPs and implementation
-
A Global Vision
To achieve an interoperable global air traffic management system, for all users during all phases of flight, that meets agreed levels of safety, provides for optimum economic operations, is environmentally sustainable and meets national security requirements.national security requirements.
Resolve to add value at the right time and the right place
A time for all organizations to review their place in the world to keep pace
-
Lots of work to do.
ICAO Business planning processes
Coordinated project management globally
Re-focusing our efforts towards Re-focusing our efforts towards development of Performance-based SARPs
-
Fostering greater collaboration in the development of standards (1)
ICAO initiative to work more closely with technical aviation standards bodies
Mechanisms being considered by the various Mechanisms being considered by the various Secretariats to determine how ICAO and technical standards-making organizations could best support each others work.
Informal round-table discussions on current standardization work programmes as well as future standardization needs
-
Fostering greater collaboration in the development of standards (2)
Discussions took place in September in Montreal
Formation of an "Informal Standards Coordination Group which includes ICAO, EUROCONTROL, the FAA, and the four aviation standards organizations ARINC, EUROCAE, RTCA and SAE.
The Group will meet twice a year. One meeting would include all these organisations, while the other meeting will be limited to ICAO, EUROCAE and RTCA and focus on technical standards development issues.
Key issues to be addressed: Identify gaps and overlaps in standards development
Standard roadmap coordination for NextGen and SESAR
-
Interoperability begins with good partnerships
