B. PURPOSE:
B1. This ANO aims at ensuring compliance to the standards and recommended practices as given in
ICAO Annex 1 by the use of terms with the specific understanding as desired by ICAO.
C. SCOPE:
C1. The terms specifically defined in this ANO shall be utilized and referred to all Licensing Regulations.
D. DESCRIPTION:
D1. DEFINITIONS:
The terms shall have the meanings assigned to them hereunder. Any other term not defined shall
have the same meanings as given in Civil Aviation Ordinance, 1960 and Civil Aviation Authority
Rules, 1994 (CARs- 94).
D1.1. ACCREDITED MEDICAL CONCLUSION:
The conclusion reached by one or more medical experts acceptable to the Licensing Authority for the
purposes of the case concerned, in consultation with flight operations or other experts as necessary.
D1.10. AIRMANSHIP:
The consistent use of good judgement and well-developed knowledge, skills and attitudes to
accomplish flight objectives.
D1.11. AIRSHIP:
A power-driven lighter-than-air aircraft.
NOTE:- Nothing in this definition is intended to preclude that the organization and its supervision be
approved by more than one State.
NOTE:- “A comparable ground-based system is one that has been demonstrated, by comparative
assessment or other methodology, to have a level of safety and performance equal to or better than
monopulse SSR”.
D1.18. BALLOON:
A non-power-driven lighter-than-air aircraft.
NOTE:- For the purposes of this Annex, this definition applies to free balloons.
* Definitions with an asterisk (*) originate from Amendment 5 to the PANS-TRG.
† Applicable until 2nd November, 2022. †† Applicable as of 3 November 2022.
D1.19. CERTIFY AS AIRWORTHY (TO):
To certify that an aircraft or parts thereof comply with current airworthiness requirements after
maintenance has been performed on the aircraft or parts thereof.
D1.21. COMPETENCY:
* A dimension of human performance that is used to reliably predict successful performance on the
job. A competency is manifested and observed through behaviors that mobilize the relevant
knowledge, skills and attitudes to carry out activities or tasks under specified conditions.
D1.24. CONDITIONS.*
Anything that may qualify a specific environment in which performance will be demonstrated.
D1.25. CO-PILOT:
A licensed pilot serving in any piloting capacity other than as pilot-in-command but excluding a pilot
who is on board the aircraft for the sole purpose of receiving flight instruction.
D1.26. CREDIT:
Recognition of alternative means or prior qualifications.
D1.27. CROSS-COUNTRY:
A flight between a point of departure and a point of arrival following a pre-planned route using
standard navigation procedures.
D1.31. ERROR:
An action or inaction by an operational person that leads to deviations from organizational or the
operational person’s intentions or expectations.
NOTE:- See Chapter 1 of Annex 19 — Safety Management for a definition of operational personnel.
NOTE:- See Chapter 6 of Part II, Section 1 of the Procedures for Air Navigation Services — Training
(PANS-TRG, Doc 9868) and Circular 314 — Threat and Error Management (TEM) in Air Traffic
Control for a description of undesired states.
A flight simulator, which provides an accurate representation of the flight deck of a particular aircraft
type to the extent that the mechanical, electrical, electronic, etc. aircraft systems control functions, the
normal environment of flight crew members, and the performance and flight characteristics of that
type of aircraft are realistically simulated;
A flight procedures trainer, which provides a realistic flight deck environment, and which simulates
instrument responses, simple control functions of mechanical, electrical, electronic, etc. aircraft
systems, and the performance and flight characteristics of aircraft of a particular class;
A basic instrument flight trainer, which is equipped with appropriate instruments, and which simulates
the flight deck environment of an aircraft in flight in instrument flight conditions.
NOTE:- Flight time as here defined is synonymous with the term “block to block” time or “chock to
chock” time in general usage which is measured from the time an aeroplane first moves for the
purpose of taking off until it finally stops at the end of the flight.
D1.40. GLIDER:
A non-power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft, deriving its lift in flight chiefly from aerodynamic
reactions on surfaces which remain fixed under given conditions of flight.
D1.42. HANDOVER:
The act of passing piloting control from one remote pilot station to another.
D1.43. HELICOPTER:
A heavier-than-air aircraft supported in flight chiefly by the reactions of the air on one or more power-
driven rotors on substantially vertical axes.
†† Applicable as of 3 November 2022.
NOTE:- In the provisions of this Annex, the Licensing Authority is deemed to have been given the
following responsibilities by the Contracting State:
a) assessment of an applicant’s qualifications to hold a license or rating;
b) issue and endorsement of licenses and ratings;
c) designation and authorization of approved persons;
d) approval of training courses;
e) approval of the use of flight simulation training devices and authorization for their use in gaining
the experience or in demonstrating the skill required for the issue of a license or rating; and
f) validation of licenses issued by other Contracting States.
D1.50. LIKELY:
In the context of the medical provisions in Chapter 6, likely means with a probability of occurring that
is unacceptable to the medical assessor.
D1.51. MAINTENANCE:
The performance of tasks required to ensure the continuing airworthiness of an aircraft, including any
one or combination of overhaul, inspection, replacement, defect rectification, and the embodiment of
a modification or repair.
NOTE-1:- Medical assessors evaluate medical reports submitted to the Licensing Authority by
medical examiners.
NOTE-2:- Medical assessors are expected to maintain the currency of their professional knowledge.
D1.55. MONITORING.
A cognitive process to compare an actual to an expected state.
NOTE:- Monitoring is embedded in the competencies for a given role within an aviation discipline,
which serve as countermeasures in the threat and error management model. It requires knowledge,
skills and attitudes to create a mental model and to take appropriate action when deviations are
recognized.
D1.56. NIGHT:
The hours between the end of evening civil twilight and the beginning of morning civil twilight or such
other period between sunset and sunrise, as may be prescribed by the appropriate authority.
NOTE:- Civil twilight ends in the evening when the centre of the sun’s disc is 6 degrees below the
horizon and begins in the morning when the centre of the sun’s disc is 6 degrees below the horizon.
D1.61. PILOT-IN-COMMAND:
The pilot designated by the operator, or in the case of general aviation, the owner, as being in
command and charged with the safe conduct of a flight.
D1.64. POWERED-LIFT:
A heavier-than-air aircraft capable of vertical take-off, vertical landing, and low-speed flight, which
depends principally on engine-driven lift devices or engine thrust for the lift during these flight regimes
and on non-rotating aerofoil(s) for lift during horizontal flight.
* Definitions with an asterisk (*) originate from Amendment 5 to the PANS-TRG.
D1.69. RATING:
An authorization entered on or associated with a license and forming part thereof, stating special
conditions, privileges or limitations pertaining to such license.
D1.70. RENDERING (A LICENSE) VALID:
The action taken by a Contracting State, as an alternative to issuing its own license, in accepting a
license issued by any other Contracting State as the equivalent of its own license.
D1.71. ROTORCRAFT:
A power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft supported in flight by the reactions of the air on one or more
rotors.
D1.72. SIGN A MAINTENANCE RELEASE (TO):
To certify that maintenance work has been completed satisfactorily in accordance with appropriate
airworthiness requirements, by issuing the maintenance release referred to in Annex 6 (in the case of
a release not issued by an approved maintenance organization) or Annex 8 (in the case of a release
issued by an approved maintenance organization).
D1.73. SIGNIFICANT:
In the context of the medical provisions in Chapter 6, significant means to a degree or of a nature that
is likely to jeopardize flight safety.
D1.76. THREAT:
Events or errors that occur beyond the influence of an operational person, increase operational
complexity and must be managed to maintain the margin of safety.
NOTE:- See Chapter 1 of Annex 19 — Safety Management for a definition of operational personnel.
NOTE:- See Chapter 6 of Part II, Section 1 of the Procedures for Air Navigation Services — Training
(PANS-TRG, Doc-9868) and Circular 314 — Threat and Error Management (TEM) in Air Traffic
Control for a description of undesired states.
