International Civil Aviation Convention on International Civil Aviation Chicago Convention 1944 The Convention on International Civil Aviation (also known as the Chicago Convention) was signed on 7 December 1944 by 52 states. Pending ratification of the convention by 26 states, the Provision International Civil Aviation Organization (PICAO) was established. It functioned from 6 June 1945 until 4 April 1947. By 5 March 1947, the 26th ratification w received. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) came into being on 4 April 1947. In October of the same year, ICAO became a specialised agency of the United Nations, linked to the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).

The convention (signed on 7 December 1944) established certain principles and arrangements (96 Articles) so that international civil aviation could develop in a safe and orderly manner. These articles provide a means to secure international co-operation and uniformity in regulations and standards. The legal instrument that gives effect to this in Australia is the Air Navigation Act 1920. The Convention on International Civil Aviation set forth the purpose of ICAO Each contracting state must undertake to collaborate in securing the highest practicable degree of uniformity in regulations, standards, procedures, and organisation in relation to aircraft, personnel, airways and auxiliary services in all matters in which such uniformity will facilitate and improve air navigation. To this end, the Convention has set up an organisation known as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to adopt and amend, from time to time, international standards and recommended practices and procedures that deal with matters concerning safety, regularity and efficiency of air navigatio ICAO ICAO Logo 2024-10-01 B-10c Aviation Legislation CASA Part 66 - Training Materials Only Page 16 of 328 International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) The role of ICAO is to provide a means to secure international co-operation and uniformity in regulations and standards. To make this possible, the Council of ICAO adopts the International Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) contained in Article 37 and incorporates these as Annexes to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. These annexes (19) regulate international air transport and provide the basis for aviation safety regulation throughout the world. The annexes vary in length from a few pages to hundreds of pages. ICAO ICAO provides a means to secure international co-operation and uniformity in regulations and standards. 2024-10-01 B-10c Aviation Legislation CASA Part 66 - Training Materials Only Page 17 of 328 ICAO Structure The ICAO is made up of an Assembly, a Council of limited membership with various subordinate bodies, and a Secretariat. The Assembly, the sovereign body of ICAO comprising representatives from all contracting states, meets at least once in three years to discuss civil aviation issues in the technical, economic, legal and technical co-operation fields. The Council, which is the governing bod gives continuing direction to the work of ICAO. Non-governmental organisations which also participate in ICAO\'s work include the International Air Transport Association, the Airports Council International, the International Federation of Air Line Pilots\' Associations, and the International Council of Aircraft Owner and Pilot Associations. ICAO also works in close co-operation with other members of the United Nations family, such as the World Meteorological Organization, the International Telecommunication Union, the Universal Postal Union, the World Health Organization and the International Maritime Organization. Australia is a Contracting State to ICAO. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), as our National Aviation Authority (NAA), is given powers by the Australian Federal Government to enforce and implement conformity with ICAO. ICAO Australia is a contracting state to ICAO 2024-10-01 B-10c Aviation Legislation CASA Part 66 - Training Materials Only Page 18 of 328 Australia's Civil Aviation Regulations Civil Aviation Act 1988 Federal Register of Legislation Civil Aviation Act 1988 The Civil Aviation Act 1988 (as amended) is the body of law that links Australia with the international aviation community. Incorporated in the Civil Aviation Act is the agreement under the Chicago Convention, where minimum standards affecting air safety have been set. The Civil Aviation Act 1988 is implemented in Australia by the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998. The Civil Aviation Regulations (CAR) 1988 and the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations (CASR) 1998 are in force under the authority of the Civil Aviation Act and provide general regulatory controls for the safety of air navigation. The Civil Aviation Act, the Civil Aviation Regulations (CARs) and the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations (CASRs) give effect to some of Australia's obligations under the Convention on International Civil Aviation (the Chicago Convention). The English texts of the Chicago Convention and several Protocols amending it are set out as Schedules to the Commonwealth Air Navigation Act 1920. The CASRs, the CARs and the Civil Aviation Orders (CAOs) are parts of Australian law. They are delegated legislation made by the Governor-General (for the Regulations) or CASA itself (for the Orders) under authority given by the Commonwealth Parliament. The authority for the GovernorGeneral to make the Regulations is in Section 98 of the Civil Aviation Act 1988, and the authority for CASA to make the orders is in Subsection 98 (4A) of that Act and in Regulation 5 of the CAR 1988. 2024-10-01 B-10c Aviation Legislation CASA Part 66 - Training Materials Only Page 19 of 328 The Regulations -- CASR 1998 The Civil Aviation Regulations (CAR) have been amended many times since 1988. They are being progressively reviewed as CASA brings its requirements into line with international standards and best regulatory practice. Major new policies are generally incorporated into the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations (CASRs). The intention is that the matters in the CARs and the CAOs will be progressively brought into the CASRs. As part of that process, the CASRs are to be written in modern, easy-to-understand language. Both the Act 1988 and the Regulations (CARs 1988 and CASRs 1998) can only be changed by an act of Parliament. The Civil Aviation Act, the CASR and the CAR are not the whole of the Commonwealth legislation regarding aviation. Aspects of aviation other than safety are regulated under (for example): The Air Navigation Act 1920 The Air Services Act 1995 The Air Services Regulations 1995 The Airspace Act 2007. The Regulations contain many regulations within them. Regulations refers to the whole statutory document. The History of CASA Australia's National Aviation Authority (NAA) was established in 1938 as the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA). The functions of the National Aviation Authority (NAA) had previously been carried out by the Department of Defence. The DCA was incorporated into the Department of Transport (DOT) in 1973. In 1982, aviation within the DOT became the Department of Aviation (DOA). Another change came in 1987, when the DOA became the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) was established on 6 July 1995 as an independent statutory authority. CASA Logo 2024-10-01 B-10c Aviation Legislation CASA Part 66 - Training Materials Only Page 20 of 328 CASA\'s Role CASA was established as an independent statutory authority. Under Section 8 of the Civil Aviation Act 1988, it was established as a body corporate separate from the Commonwealth. CASA's authority to operate in Australia is given by the Civil Aviation Act 1988. CASA's primary role is to conduct the safety regulation of civil air operations in Australia and the operation of Australian aircraft overseas. CASA is also required to provide comprehensive safety education and training programs, cooperate with the Australian Transport Safety Bureau and administer certain features of Part IVA of the Civil Aviation (Carriers\' Liability) Act 1959. Other legislation affecting CASA in the exercise of its powers includes: Air Navigation Act 1920 Auditor-General Act 1997 Ombudsman Act 1976 Freedom of Information Act 1982 Privacy Act 1988 Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1975 Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977. The Chief Executive Officer manages CASA and is responsible to the Minister for the Department Infrastructure and Regional Development. 2024-10-01 B-10c Aviation Legislation CASA Part 66 - Training Materials Only Page 21 of 328 Legislative Documents Introduction The Civil Aviation Act and the CAR 1988 empower CASA to issue Civil Aviation Orders (CAOs) on detailed matters of regulation. The CASRs 1998 empower CASA to issue Manuals of Standards (MOS) which support the CASR by providing detailed technical material. If there is an inconsistency between the MOS and the Act or the Regulations, the Act or the Regulation prevail. © CASR CASR 1998 Full Regulation Structure 2024-10-01 B-10c Aviation Legislation CASA Part 66 - Training Materials Only Page 22 of 328 Civil Aviation Orders (CAOs) To facilitate the efficient operation of the department, the CARs empower CASA to issue orde which can be changed on a day-to-day basis. These orders are called Civil Aviation Orders and are known as CAOs. They make CASA's requirements known to those who have anything to do with the operation of aircraft. Aviation Australia Sample CAO No 48.1 2024-10-01 B-10c Aviation Legislation CASA Part 66 - Training Materials Only Page 23 of 328 Manual of Standards (MOS) Many parts of the CASRs are supported by a legislative instrument known as a Manual of Standards (MOS) and prescribed by CASA for uniform application. MOSs contain detailed technical material, such as technical specifications and standards, determined to be necessary for the safety of a navigation. The text of a manual is often incorporated in the CASR by reference. There will usually be a definiti of Manual, Manual of Standards or MOS (followed by a reference to a part of the CASRs), which will state something like, 'For this Part (that is, part of the regulations): MOS Part 43 means the document called the Manual of Standards -- Part 43, published by CASA, as in force from time to time.' Note that for a particular part of the CASR, only part of the Manual may be incorporated, and that part of the relevant manual is what Manual or MOS will mean for that part. A Manual of Standards is a legislative instrument for the purposes of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003 and must be registered, and made publicly available, as required by that act. The Federal Register of Legislative Instruments established under that act is accessible at http://www.comlaw.gov.au. A manual may be amended from time to time, but the amendments will be done in a similar way to amendments to the CASR or CAR.

CAAPs should always be read in conjunction with the referenced regulations. CAAPs are advisory only. They provide recommendations and guidance to illustrate a method, or several methods, not necessarily being the only method by which legislative requirements may be met. They also provide a means of illustrating the meaning of certain requirements by offering interpretive and explanatory guidance. The CAAPs relate to the CAR 1988 only.

Gaining approval to operate under the CASR parts is contingent on the industry demonstrating it can manage the risks associated with the requested privileges. The focus for CASA is on organisation systems. This demonstration is done via expositions, through which CASA can manage compliance by permission, application assessments and ongoing oversight. © Aviation Australia Maintenance Regulations 2024-10-01 B-10c Aviation Legislation CASA Part 66 - Training Materials Only Page 27 of 328 Part 21 Part 21 affects anyone in the Australian aviation community involved in the design, manufacture and airworthiness certification of aircraft, aeronautical products and part Part 21 of the rules sets out the requirements for approval as an approved design organisation as well as for the associated privileges and obligations.
