Annex 6 Part II

This document provides a compliance checklist for European Union Aviation Safety Agency regulations compared to standards in Annex 6 Part 2 of the International Civil Aviation Organization. It includes the annex reference, EU state legislation and regulation references, level of implementation of standards and recommended practices, text of any differences to be notified to ICAO, and comments on reasons for differences. The first section defines terms like 'acts of unlawful interference', 'aerial work', 'aerodrome', 'aerodrome operating minima', 'aeroplane', and 'agreement summary' and notes any differences between EU regulations and ICAO definitions.

CHAPTER 1.1 DEFINITIONS

When the following terms are used in the Standards and

Recommended Practices for the operation of aeroplanes in
international general aviation, they have the following
meanings:

Acts of unlawful interference. These are acts or attempted

acts such as to jeopardize the safety of civil aviation and
air transport, i.e.:

— unlawful seizure of aircraft in flight,

— unlawful seizure of aircraft on the ground,
— hostage-taking on board an aircraft or on
aerodromes,
— forcible intrusion on board an aircraft, at an airport or
on the premises of an aeronautical facility,
— introduction on board an aircraft or at an airport of a
weapon or hazardous device or material intended for
criminal purposes,
— communication of false information as to jeopardize
the safety of an aircraft in flight or on the ground, of
passengers, crew, ground personnel or the general
public, at an airport or on the premises of a civil
aviation facility.

A navigation specification based on area navigation that
includes the requirement for performance monitoring and

Area navigation (RNAV) specification. A navigation

specification based on area navigation that does not include
the requirement for performance monitoring and alerting,

Note 2.— The term RNP, previously defined as “a

statement of the navigation performance necessary for
operation within a defined airspace”, has been removed
from this Annex as the concept of RNP has been overtaken by
the concept of PBN. The term RNP in this Annex is now
solely used in the context of navigation specifications that
require performance monitoring and alerting, e.g. RNP 4
refers to the aircraft and operating requirements, including
a 4 NM lateral performance with on-board performance
monitoring and alerting that are detailed in Doc 9613.

Note 1.— Although the Convention on International

Standard
Civil Aviation allocates to the State of Registry certain
functions which that State is entitled to discharge, or
obligated to discharge, as the case may be, the Assembly
recognized, in Resolution A23-13, that the State of Registry
may be unable to fulfil its responsibilities adequately in
instances where aircraft are leased, chartered or
interchanged — in particular without crew — by the
operator of another State and that the Convention may not
adequately specify the rights and obligations of the State of
the operator in such instances until such time as Article 83
bis of the Convention enters into force. Accordingly, the
Council urged that if, in the above-mentioned instances, the
State of Registry finds itself unable to discharge adequately
the functions allocated to it by the Convention, it delegate to
the State of the Operator, subject to acceptance by the latter
State, those functions of the State of Registry that can more
adequately be discharged by the State of the Operator. It
was understood that pending entry into force of Article 83
bis of the Convention the foregoing action would only be a
matter of practical convenience and would not affect either
the provisions of the Chicago Convention prescribing the
duties of the State of Registry or any third State. However, as
Article 83 bis of the Convention entered into force on 20
June 1997, such transfer agreements will have effect in
respect of Contracting States which have ratified the related
Protocol (Doc 9318) upon fulfilment of the conditions
established in Article 83 bis.

at or above 75 m (250 ft); and

b) Type B: a decision height below 75 m (250 ft). Type B

instrument approach operations are categorized as:

1) Category I (CAT I): a decision height not lower

than 60 m (200 ft) and with either a visibility not
less than 800 m or a runway visual range not
less than 550 m;

2) Category II (CAT II): a decision height lower

than 60 m (200 ft) but not lower than 30 m (100 ft)
and a runway visual range not less than 300 m;

3) Category III (CAT III): a decision height lower

than 30 m (100 ft) or no decision height and a
runway visual range less than 300 m or no
runway visual range limitations;

Note 1.— Where decision height (DH) and runway visual

range (RVR) fall into different categories of operation, the
instrument approach operation would be conducted in
accordance with the requirements of the most demanding
category (e.g. an operation with a DH in the range of CAT III
but with an RVR in the range of CAT III would be considered
a CAT III operation or an operation with a DH in the range
of CAT II but with an RVR in the range of CAT I would be
considered a CAT II operation). This does not apply if the
RVR and/or DH has been approved as operational credits.

Note 2.— The required visual reference means that

should have been in view for sufficient time for the pilot to
have made an assessment of the aircraft position and rate of

visual reference is the runway environment.

activation in the event of an accident for aircraft operating
over water or land, including areas especially difficult for
search and rescue. Placement of transmitter units is a vital
factor in ensuring optimal crash and fire protection. The
placement of the control and switching devices (activation
monitors) of automatic fixed ELTs and their associated
operational procedures will also take into consideration the
need for rapid detection of inadvertent activation and
convenient manual switching by crew members.
