    Study Notes

    Annex 14 - Aerodromes: Structure and Content

    • Annex 14 is comprised of several elements, including introductory material (explanations), notes (factual info/references to the Standards or Recommended Practices), attachments (supplementary material), and is available in six languages (English, Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, and Spanish).

    • Standards use the operative verb "shall", while Recommended Practices use "should".

    Annex 14 - Units of Measurement

    • Uses the International System of Units (SI), as per Annex 5 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation.
    • Non-SI alternatives are shown in parentheses.
    • Equivalent safety does not imply interchangeability when using both sets of units.

    Annex 14 - Amendments & Dates

    • Annex 14 has multiple amendments with varying applicable dates.
    • Amendments relate to diverse subjects, ranging from runway characteristics, visual aids, security, to safety management systems.
    • Amendments often cover specific aspects like physical characteristics, clearways, stopways, taxiways, aprons, take-off and approach areas, etc.
    • Multiple dates for approval and effectiveness of each amendment are listed.

    Annex 14 - Definitions: Aerodrome

    • Defines "aerodrome" as a demarcated land/water area (with associated structures and equipment) for aircraft arrival, departure, and ground movement.
    • Defines key terms such as: aerodrome beacon, aerodrome certificate, aerodrome elevation, aerodrome identification sign, aerodrome mapping data (AMD), aerodrome mapping database (AMDB), aerodrome reference point, and aerodrome traffic density.
    • Aerodrome traffic density is categorized into three types (Light, Medium, and Heavy) based on movement counts in the busiest hour (per runway/total movements).
