World Area Forecast System (WAFS).
- Aeronautical Charts
Annex 4
For the safe performance of air operations it is essential that a current, comprehensive and authoritative source of navigation information be made available at all times, and aeronautical charts provide a convenient medium for supplying this information in a manageable, condensed and coordinated manner.
Annex 4

- Air Traffic Services
Annex 11
The prime objective of air traffic services, is to prevent collisions between aircraft, whether taxiing on the maneuvering area, taking off, landing, enroute or in the holding pattern at the destination aerodrome.
It also deals with ways of expediting and maintaining an orderly flow of air traffic and of providing advice and information for the safe and efficient conduct of flights and alerting service for aircraft in distress.
Annex 11
- Search and Rescue
Annex 12
Details the organization and cooperative principles appropriate to effective SAR operations, outlines required necessary preparatory measures and sets forth proper operating procedures for SAR services in actual emergencies.
Annex 12
- Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation
Annex 13
The objective of the investigation of an accident or incident is prevention.
The causes of an aircraft accident or serious incident must be identified in order to prevent repeated occurrences. The identification of casual factors is best accomplished through a properly conducted investigation.
