Study Notes

ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs)

ICAO publishes standards and recommended practices for contracting states.
Standards are legally binding for Contracting States and recommendations are for the rest of the world.
Annexes cover various aspects of aviation, including:
- Entry of cargo (Annex 9)
- Aerodrome design (Annex 14)
- Dangerous goods carried in aircraft (Annex 18)

Other Important Conventions

The Tokyo Convention relates to third-party injury on the ground.
The Rome Convention deals with hijacking.
The Warsaw Convention and its amendments cover the limitations of operator responsibilities for passengers and cargo.

Freedoms of the Air

The first freedom of the air allows for overflight only.

Air Traffic Control

A flight plan is required for all IFR flights and for all VFR flights in controlled airspace.
An ATC clearance must be obtained prior to entering controlled airspace.
Pilots must notify ATC of any changes in estimated arrival times (ETAs) that exceed 5%.

Aircraft with anti-collision lights are to show them at all times.
Red lights can be seen by the pilot on a normal PAPI-defined glide path (Precision Approach Path Indicator).
An aircraft on a temporary visit to a dedicated aerodrome of a member state will be exempt from customs duties for a period determined by the state.
Pilots are not allowed to use the indent function on their SSR (Secondary Surveillance Radar) unless instructed by ATC.

Altimetry and Airspace Classification

Transition Level is published on every approach and landing chart for every airfield.
After landing, the altimeter is set to 1013.2 hPa, and this indication is known as aerodrome elevation.
Bangladesh Airways operates in Class C airspace.
Bangladesh does not have Class A or Class F airspace.

Bangladesh Aviation Specific Information

The initial approach altitude for all types of instrument approaches for runway 14 of HSIA (Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport) is 3000 ft.
Emergency standby frequency in Bangladesh is 121.5 MHz.
The runway length for HSIA International Airport is 3200 meters.
The lower limit of Dhaka control zone is GND (ground).
The upper limit of Dhaka TMA (Terminal Maneuvering Area) is FL 145 (flight level 145).
Chittagong control zone is a C-type airspace.
PAPI (Precision Approach Path Indicator) consists of 4 pairs of lights.
The call sign for an Area Control Center is "Control".
