Aviation Safety: ICAO Conventions and Standards

ICAO Conventions: Aviation Safety

Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs)

• ICAO sets global standards for aviation safety through SARPs
• SARPs cover safety oversight, aircraft operations, airworthiness, and aerodromes
• SARPs are adopted by ICAO Member States and implemented nationally

Annex 19: Safety Management

• ICAO Annex 19 provides guidelines for safety management systems (SMS)
• SMS is a proactive approach to managing safety risks in aviation
• Annex 19 outlines requirements for SMS implementation in aviation organizations

Safety Oversight

• ICAO provides guidance on safety oversight through the Safety Oversight Manual (SOM)
• SOM outlines best practices for safety oversight and inspection
• ICAO also provides training and assistance to Member States for safety oversight

Accident Investigation and Prevention

• ICAO provides guidance on accident investigation and prevention through Annex 13
• Annex 13 outlines procedures for investigating aircraft accidents and incidents
• ICAO also promotes safety data analysis and sharing to prevent accidents

Runway Safety

• ICAO provides guidance on runway safety through the Runway Safety Programme
• The programme aims to reduce runway excursions and incidents
• ICAO also provides guidance on runway safety inspections and audits

Aerodrome Safety

• ICAO provides guidance on aerodrome safety through Annex 14
• Annex 14 outlines standards for aerodrome design, operations, and safety management
• ICAO also provides guidance on aerodrome safety inspections and audits

ICAO Conventions: Aviation Safety

• ICAO sets global standards for aviation safety through Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs)
• SARPs cover four key areas: safety oversight, aircraft operations, airworthiness, and aerodromes
• ICAO Member States adopt and implement SARPs nationally

Physical Addresses

• A physical address is a location indicator that provides the precise geographic location of a device or node in a network.

Types of Addresses

• IPv4 Addresses: 32-bit addresses consisting of four numbers separated by dots (e.g., 192.0.2.1).
• IPv6 Addresses: 128-bit addresses consisting of eight groups of four hexadecimal digits separated by colons (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334).

Components of an Address

• Network ID: Identifies the network portion of the address.
• Host ID: Identifies the specific device on the network.

Functions of an Address

• Device Identification: Uniquely identifies a device on a network.
• Routing: Enables routers to forward packets to the correct device on a network.

Examples of Addresses

• A home router's IPv4 address: 192.168.1.1.
• A server's IPv6 address: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334.
