Annexes 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 Flashcards
a world area forecast centre (WAFC) within
the framework of the WAFS, shall arrange for that centre:
a) to prepare gridded global forecasts of:
1) upper wind;
2) upper-air temperature and humidity;
3) geopotential altitude of flight levels;
4) flight level and temperature of tropopause;
5) direction, speed and flight level of maximum wind;
6) cumulonimbus clouds;
7) icing; and
8) turbulence;
At aerodromes that are not operational throughout 24 hours METAR shall be issued
prior to the aerodrome resuming operations in accordance with regional air navigation agreement.
Recommendation.— The period of validity of a routine TAF should be not less than 6 hours and not more than
30 hours; the period of validity should be determined by regional air navigation agreement. Routine TAF valid for less than
12 hours should be issued every
3 hours and those valid for 12 to 30 hours should be issued every 6 hours
Telecommunications facilities between aerodrome meteorological offices or
meteorological watch offices and flight information centres, area control centres, rescue coordination centres and
aeronautical telecommunications stations should permit:
a) communications by direct speech, the speed with which the communications can be established being such that the
required points may normally be contacted within approximately 15 seconds; and
b) printed communications, when a record is required by the recipients; the message transit time should not exceed
5 minutes.
if there are no clouds of operational significance and no restriction on vertical visibility and the abbreviation
“CAVOK” is not appropriate, the abbreviation
“NSC” should be used;
When ATS airspace is shown on a chart, the class of airspace, ________________________________________________ shall be indicated and the horizontal limits depicted
the type, name or call sign, the vertical limits and
the radio frequency(ies) to be used
the geoid, shall be used as the vertical reference system and it means
Mean sea level (MSL) datum, which gives the relationship of gravity-related height (elevation) to a surface
The chart shall be identified by the name of
the country in which the aerodrome is located, the name of the city or town or area
which the aerodrome serves, the name of the aerodrome and the designator(s) of the runway(s).
The operator shall ensure that all employees when abroad know that they must comply with
the laws, regulations
and procedures of those States in which operations are conducted.
An aeroplane shall not be taxied on the movement area of an aerodrome unless the person at the controls:
a) has been duly authorized by the operator or a designated agent;
b) is fully competent to taxi the aeroplane;
c) is qualified to use the radiotelephone; and
d) has received instruction from a competent person in respect of aerodrome layout, routes, signs, marking, lights, air
traffic control (ATC) signals and instructions, phraseology and procedures, and is able to conform to the operational
standards required for safe aeroplane movement at the aerodrome
For instrument approach operations, aerodrome operating minima below
800 m
visibility should not be authorized unless RVR information is provided.
Two destination alternate aerodromes shall be selected and specified in the operational and ATS flight plans
when, for the destination aerodrome:
a) meteorological conditions at the estimated time of use will be below the operator’s established aerodrome operating
minima for that operation; or
b) meteorological information is not available
The pilot-in-command shall declare a situation of fuel emergency by broadcasting MAYDAY MAYDAY
MAYDAY FUEL, when the
calculated usable fuel predicted to be available upon landing at the nearest aerodrome where a
safe landing can be made is less than the planned final reserve fuel.
All aeroplanes when operated as VFR flights shall be equipped with:
a) a magnetic compass;
b) an accurate timepiece indicating the time in hours, minutes and seconds;
c) a sensitive pressure altimeter;
d) an airspeed indicator; and
e) such additional instruments or equipment as may be prescribed by the appropriate authority
When letters are used for the registration mark, combinations shall not be used which might be confused with the
five-letter combinations used in the International Code of Signals, Part II, the three-letter combinations beginning with Q
used in the Q Code, and with the distress
signal SOS, or other similar urgent signals, for example XXX, PAN and TTT.

Publications
In the event that errors are found in any documents, the public authorities concerned shall
accord the aircraft operator or authorized agent
an opportunity to correct such errors or shall alternatively perform such
corrections themselves.
Contracting States shall determine the conditions under which aircraft are disinfected. When aircraft disinfection
is required, the following provisions shall apply:
a) the application shall be limited solely to the container or to the compartment of the aircraft in which the traffic was
carried;
b) the disinfection shall be undertaken by procedures that are in accordance with the aircraft manufacturer and any
advice from WHO;
c) the contaminated areas shall be disinfected with compounds possessing suitable germicidal properties appropriate to
the suspected infectious agent;
d) the disinfection shall be carried out expeditiously by cleaners wearing suitable personal protective equipment; and
e) flammable chemical compounds, solutions or their residues likely to damage aircraft structure, or its systems, such
as by corrosion, or chemicals likely to damage the health of passengers or crew, shall not be employed.
Passengers must be sufficiently well informed to choose between the channels. For this purpose it is important:
a) that passengers be informed about the functioning of the system and about the descriptions and quantities of
goods they may have with them when using the green channel. This may be done by means of posters or panels
at the airport or by means of leaflets available to the public at the airport or distributed through tourist agencies,
airlines and other interested bodies;
b) that the route to the channels be clearly signposted.
