ICAO Documents Related to Aerodrome Certification

Article 15 of the ICAO Convention:Requires that all aerodromes open to public use,

under the jurisdiction of the country, provide uniform conditions for aircraft of all other contracting States.

Apr 20, 2023 Module - 2 10


How do you do that?Through the certification of aerodromes.

ICAO member States have agreed to a standard about certifying aerodromes

Module - 2 12

ICAO Annex 14 Volume I has standards that require: “States shall certify aerodromes used for international operations in accordance with the specifications contained in this Annex as well as other relevant ICAO specifications through an appropriate regulatory framework”

Additionally, ICAO Annex 14 requires that:

“A certified aerodrome shall implement a safety management system” acceptable to the State/CAA.

Apr 20, 2023

Why to Certify Aerodromes?

Module - 2 13

Certification enables member State to discharge safety responsibilities in aerodrome regulations and provides evidence of action taken.

Without the process of certification, a strong commitment to quality assurance of safety is difficult to demonstrate:

-What evidence is there of compliance with standards?-How can procedures be assessed as safe?-What staff competencies are required, and is appropriate training provided?-How can the accuracy of published aeronautical data be assured?

Module - 2 14

Certification will be reviewed in the ICAO Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme

The ICAO Safety Oversight Audit Programme is a comprehensive systems approach for the conduct of safety oversight audits and includes a comprehensive system’s approach review of States conformity with core elements of the safety provisions contained in:Annex 1 — Personnel Licensing, Annex 6 — Operation of Aircraft, Annex 8 — Airworthiness of Aircraft, Annex 11 — Air Traffic Services, Annex 13 — Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation, and Annex 14 — Aerodromes.

How can aerodrome certification be achieved?

1. Establish an appropriate regulatory framework

2. Require an Aerodrome Manual for certification

Apr 20, 2023


Adoption of international standards and proceduresEach contracting State undertakes to collaborate in securing the highest practicable degree of uniformity in regulations, standards, procedures, and organization in relation to aircraft, personnel, airways and auxiliary services in all matters in which such uniformity will facilitate and improve air navigation.
