The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations focused on international air navigation. It sets standards, promotes safety, and ensures orderly growth of air transport globally.

The convention that established ICAO was signed in 1944 by 52 states. The provisional ICAO was active until 1947 when it became a formal UN agency.

ICAO's mission includes promoting safe and efficient international air travel, fostering development of aviation infrastructure, ensuring fair competition among airlines, and safeguarding the rights of countries.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is the regulatory authority for civil aviation in India, with a focus on safety issues under the Montreal Convention (MOCA).

The DGCA investigates aviation accidents, manages aviation regulations, issues licenses for pilots and aviation personnel, and enforces airworthiness standards for aircraft.

The Aircraft Act (1934) and the Aircraft Rules (1937) were enacted to regulate civil aviation in India. These acts govern aspects such as aircraft registration, airworthiness certification, and pilot licensing.

CARs (Civil Aviation Requirements) are a comprehensive set of regulations for air transport in India. They cover numerous areas, such as safety, licensing, and aircraft maintenance.

CAR 145 addresses aircraft maintenance organizations, CAR M covers medical aspects, CAR 21 governs airworthiness, CAR 66 covers maintenance licenses, and CAR 147 focuses on aviation training organizations.

Aeronautical Information Circulars (AICs) are notices containing information that doesn't qualify as NOTAMS or AIPs. They provide important information about flight safety, navigation, technical, administrative, or legislative matters.

The Assembly is the sovereign body of ICAO composed of representatives from all member states. It meets every three years to make decisions and establish policies.

The Council acts as the governing body of ICAO, elected by the Assembly for a three-year term. It has 36 member states and provides direction and oversees the implementation of ICAO's work.

The Secretariat, headed by the Secretary General, is responsible for the day-to-day operations of ICAO, including administrative and technical support, implementing decisions, and coordinating activities.

ICAO Annexes are a collection of documents each addressing specific areas of international civil aviation. They contain technical standards and recommended practices (SARPs) to standardize procedures and ensure safety.

Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) are technical specifications adopted by the ICAO Council. These standards are contained in 19 Annexes and cover various areas of aviation, ensuring global uniformity.

Section 1 of the CARs deals with general procedures, including the issuance of CARs, revisions, and how they are disseminated.

Series A, Part 1 of the CARs lays out requirements for issuing, revising, and distributing CARs to relevant organizations.

The first page of every CAR document contains details like the section, series, part, date of issue, and date of applicability.

When a CAR is revised, a 'Revision Notice' is issued indicating which pages have been altered and the reasons for the revisions.

All revisions to the CAR are indicated by a sideline on the affected pages, highlighting the changes made.

Before a new CAR is published, a draft is circulated to relevant stakeholders for feedback and suggestions for improvement.

Series A, Part 2 of the CARs defines essential terms related to air regulations in India.

Series A, Part 3 of the CARs outlines the procedures for conducting exams and proficiency checks for defense personnel seeking civil aviation licenses.

Series A, Part 5 of the CARs focuses on the management system for regulatory documents in Indian civil aviation, ensuring effective documentation and record-keeping.

Series B, Part 1 of the CARs determines the units of measurement to be used in air and ground operations, aligning with ICAO's standards.

This section of CARs describes the procedure for seeking exemption from specific regulations, outlining the process and necessary documentation.

Series C, Part 1 of the CARs defines the regulatory framework for Safety Management Systems (SMS) for aviation entities in India, emphasizing the need for systematic safety processes.
