FOREWORD Historical Background Standards and Recommended Practices for Aeronautical Information Services were first adopted by the Council on 15 May 1953, pursuant to the provisions of Article 37 of the Convention on International civil Aviation Chicago 1944, and were designated as Annex 15 to the 'Convention. Annex 15 as now presented has under- gone the following development. The first requireincnts were developed by the Air Navigation Committee as a result of recommendations of Regional hir Navi- gation Meetings, and were published by authority of the Council as Procedures for International Notices to Airmen PANS-NOTAM, PICA0 Doc 2713 in January 1947. In 1949, the Special NOTAM Meeting reviewed and proposed amendments to these procedures which were later issued as "Procedures for Air Navigation Services PANS-AIS, Doc 7106" and which became applicable on 1 August 1951. In 1952, the PANS-AIS ,were reviewed hy the First Session of the Acroilautical Information Services Division which recommended the adoptioil of Standards aild Recommended Practices. Following coilsideration by all Contracting States, these recohmendations were re- viewed by the Air Navigation commission and the first set of Standards and Recommended Practices was adopted by the Council on 15 May 1953 as Annex 15 to the Convention. This Annex became applicable on 1 April 1954. Following the usual consultation with States, five minor amendments to the Annex were subsequently adopted or approved by the Council. Amendments 1, 2 and 5 were of an editorial nature, and designed to maintain consistency in termiilology with developments in other lCAO fields. Amendments 3 and 4 dealt respectively with the definition and identification of prohibited, restricted and danger areas, and explanatory notes on the application of such definitions. At the Mceting of the Aeronautical Information Services and Aeroilantical Charts Division in April-May 1959 the Standards and Recommended Practices were subjected to a complete review which resulted in a number of recoinneildations for amendment. In the main, these were directed towards a clarification and strengthening of the Annex, giving the status of Standards or Rccommendcd Practices to the detailed contents of Aeronautical lnformation Publications, development of specifications for Inform- ation Circulars, and the deletion of certain guidance inaterial considered more appropriate to an AIS Manual. On the basis of comments of States, these recom- mendations were reviewed by the Air Navigation Commission and the resulting material was adopted/approved by the Council as Amendment 6 on 20 June 1960 and Amendment 7 on 2 December 1960. On 25 March 1964 the Couicil adopted Amendment 8 which introduced into Chapter 5 a new procedure far the control and regulation of amendments to aeronautical information and renoved from the Annex the "NOTAM Code" and "Abbreviations for use by Aeronau- tical Information Services". The latter stemmed from action of the Council in approving the establishlnent of a new document to contain ICAO Abbreviations and Codes, Doc 8400. Minor amendments were also made to Appendix 1. Amend- ment 8 became applicable on 1 November 1964. Ainendment 9, which consisted of changes to the definitions for danger area, prohibited area and restricted area, and consequent amendment of the associated guidance material Attach- ment A, stemming from action of the RAC/OPS Meeting 1963, was adopted on 10 December 1965 and became applic- able on 25 August 1966. The Aeronautical Information Services and Aeronautical Charts Divisional Meet- ing 1966 further clarified, strengthened and brought up to date the provisions of the Annex, introduced specifications for Snow Plan notifications and a defini- Lion and pro forza for SNOWTAM revised the specifications for the text of NOTAM given Class I distribution, the content of AIP, and the identification and delineation of restricted airspace to accord with operational needs and changing concepts in related fields and raised the specifications for Aeronautical Information Circulars to the status of Standards. The Meeting also recommended the deletion of Appendix 2, specifications as to the sheet size of NOTAM Class XI, and Attachment A as being guidance material more appropriate to the AIS Manual. On the basis of comments of States, these reconmendations were re- viewed by thc Air Navigation Commission and the resulting material, adopted by the Council as Amendment 10 on 13 June 1967, became effective on 8 October 1967 and applicable oil 8 February 1968. The Fifth Air Navigation Conference 1967 recommended a more detailed delineation of the information to be made available through the pre-flight informa- tion service and the publication of in- formation on runway visual range sys- tems. This material Amendment 11 was adopted by the Council on 23 January 1969, became efiective on 23 May 1969 and applicable on 18 September 1969. Amerrdment 12 reflects recornmenda- tions of the Sixth Air Navigation Con- ference 1969 which were designed to clarify and extend the specifications con- cerning the publication of information on air traffic services systems, is. with reference to reporting points and mini- mum flight altitudes. It also provides, by transfer of the substance of a Regional Supplementary Procedure, for promulga- tion by NOTAM of information con- cerning the conduct of search and rescue operations of substantial duration. This matcrial was adopted by the Council on 15 May 1970, became effective on 15 September 1970 and applicable on 4 February 1971. Applicability The purpose of the Standards and Recommended Practices is to promote uniformity in methods of collection and dissemination of aeronautical information in the interest of safety, regularity and eficiency of international air navigation. Each Contracting State is required to provide severally or jointly an aeronautical information service responsible for the collection, collation, editing and publishing of aeronautical information concerning its own territory, and to take all reasonable measures to ensure that the information it provide relating to its own territory is 4/2/71 No. 12
