FOREWORD Historical Background Standards and Recommended Practices for the Airworthiness of Aircraft were adopted by the Council on 1 March 1949 pursuant to the provisions of Article 37 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation Chicago 1944 and designated as Annex 8 to the Convention. They be- came effective on 1 September 1949. The Standards and Recommended Practices were based on recommendations of the first and second sessions of the Air- worthiness Division held respectively in March 1946 and February 1947. At its third and fourth sessions held in February 1949 and March 1951, respec- tively, the Airworthiness Division made proposals for amendment to the Stand- ards and Recommended Practices. Those proposals resulted in Amendments num- bered 1 to 63 inclusive, which were adopted by the Council on 26 January 1950, and in Amendments numbered 64 to 83 inclusive, which were adopted by the Council on 13 November 1951. Those two sets of amendments became effective on 1 January 1951 and 15 April 1952, respectively. As originally adopted and also as amended by Amendments 1 to 83, the Annex contained, in Part 11, general air- worthiness procedures applicable to a11 aircraft. It also specified, in Part I and Part 111, minimum airworthiness char- acteristics for aeroplanes provided, or to be provided, with certificates of air- worthiness classifying them in an estab- lished ICAO category. At its fourth session, the Airworthiness Division collaborating with the Oper- ations Division made, in addition to the proposals that resulted in Amendments 64 to 83, recommendations concerning the use of a performance code as an alter- native to the one contained in the Annex, in which the climb values had the status of Recommended Practices. Further, the Airworthiness Division made recom- mendations concerning certain aspects of the certification in ICAO categories. As 1 result of those recommendations, the Council, on 2 December 1952, adopted Amendment 84 which became effective 1 May 1953, and approved the incor- poration of the alternative performance code as Attachment A, but stated its belief that since agreement had not been yet reached upon Standards covering per- formance, there existed no basis for cer- tification in ICAO Category A. It urged the Contracting States to refrain from such certification pending the be- coming effective of Standards on per- formance or until such time as the Coun- cil decides on the basic policy on air- worthiness. The Assembly at its seventh session June 1953 endorsed the action already taken by the Council and the Air Navi- gation Commission to initiate a funda- mental study of ICAO policy on inter- national airworthiness and directed the Council to complete the study as rapidly as practicable. In pursuing such study the Air Navi- gation Commission was helped by an international body of experts designated as the "Airworthiness Panel", which contributed to the preparation of the work of the Third Air Navigation Con- ference The New Policy on International Air- zworthiness.-According to the new policy resulting from those studies, the principle of certification in an ICAO Category is abandoned. Instead, the airworthiness Standards define, for application by the competent national authorities, the com- plete minimum international basis for the recognition by States of certificates of airworthiness for the purpose of the flight of aircraft of other States into or over their territories, hereby achieving, among other purposes, protection of other air- craft, third persons and property. It is considered that this meets the obligation of the Organization under Article 37 of the Convention to adopt international Standards of airworthiness. The ICAO Standards of airworthiness do not replace national regulations. ICAO recognizes that national codes of airworthiness containing the full scope and extent of detail considered necessary by individual States will be necessary as the basis for the certification of indivi- dual aircraft. Each State is thus under the obligation to establish its own com- prehensive and detailed code of air- worthiness, or to select a comprehensive and detailed code established by another Contracting State. The level of air- worthiness to be defined by this code is indicated by the Standards, supple- mented, if necessary, by Acceptable Means of Compliance. In application of those principles, the Annex is declared as constituting the minimum standards for the purpose of Article 33. It may, at the time of adop- tion, not include technical Standards for all classes of aircraft or even for all classes of aeroplanes, if the Council recognizes that no technical Standards are required at that time to render Article 33 operative. Adoption or amend- ment of the Annex declared to be com- plete for the purpose of Article 33 does not however constitute the end of ICAO's work in the airworthiness field, as there is a need to continue inter- national collaboration in airworthiness matters future work will be done in accordance with the methods and criteria governing the technical work of the Organization. Fourth Edition. - A text consistent with the new policy on international air- worthiness was prepared on the basis of the recommendations made by the Third Air Navigation Conference Montreal, September-October 1956. This was adopted as Amendment 85 on 13 June 1957 and became effective on 1 October 1957. This text, which contained no Recommended Practices, was included in the Fourth Edition, which superseded the First, Second and Third Editions. Fifth Edition. - The present edition in- corporates provisions arising from the recommendations made, at its Fourth Meeting, by the Airworthiness Com- mittee, an international body of experts authorized by the Council and func- tioning under the Air Navigation Com- mission. As a result of those recom- mendations, their submission to all Con- tracting States and their review by the Air Navigation Commission, Amendment 86 was adopted on 13 December 11 and became effective on 1 April 1962. Subsequent to the issue of the fifth edition of Annex 8, the Council adopted on 12 November 1963, Amendment 87, consisting of a redefinition of the Standard Atmosphere and consequent extension of
