International Standarde and Recommended Practices SEARCH AND RESCUE Third Edition - 1 September 1956 Historical background In December 1946, the Search and Res- cue Division, at its second session, made recommendations for Standards and Recommended Practices for Search arid Rescue. These, weqe developed by the Secretariat and the then existent Air Navigation Committee, and were duly submitted to the Council. The proposals were not accepted by the Council ' in the form in which they were presented and, on 20 April 1948,. were referred back to the Air Navigation Committee for further consideration. A further draft Annex was then developed in the light of experience gained at Regional Air Navigation Meet- ings and eventually was approved in principle by the Air Navigation Com- mission and circulated to States for com- ment. Further development was made by the Air Navigation Commission as a result of Statds' comments and the res- ulting proposals were adopted by the Council on 25 May 1950 and desigmated as Annex 12 to the Convention on Inter- national C,ivil Aviation. The Annex be- came effective on 1 December 1950 and came into force on 1 March 1951. At its third session, held in Septem- ber 1951, the Search and Rescue Division made recommendations for amendments to the, Annex. These were reviewed by the Air. Navigation Conlnission and transmitted to Contracting States for comments in October 1951. These rec- omendations were again reviewed by . the Air Navigation Commission, during February 1952, after the receipt of States' conmients and were adopted by the Council as Amendment 1 to the Annex on 31 March 1952, became effect- ive on 1 September 1952 and became applicable on 1 January 1953. Third Edifim.-The preserit edition incorporates provisions arising from the recommendations of the Second Air Navigation Conference Montreal, Au- gust-September 1955 which resulted FOREWORD in Amendment 2 being adopted by the Council on 8 May 1956.

The atrlendmont became effective on 1 October 1957 and will become. applicable on 1 December 1957. Applicability The Standards and Recommended Practices in this document govern the application of the "Regional Supplement- ary Procedures-Search and Rescue". contained in Doc 7030, in which docu- ment will be found subsidiary procedures of regional application. Annex 12 is applicable to the establish- ment, mairitenance and operation of search and rescue services in the tct- ritories of Contracting States and over neighbouring seas, and to the coordina- tion of such -services with those of neighbouring States. Action by Contracting States Notification of differences States were irivited to notify the Organization before 1 October 1956, in accordance with Article 38 of the Convention, of any differences that will exist on 1 December 1956 between their national regulatioils and practices and the Inter- national Standards contained in the Annex as now amended. They were also invited to extend such notification to any differences from the Recommended Practices contained in the Annex and, further, to keep the Organization in- formed of any subsequent difference or of the withdrawal of any previously notified differences. Use of the tkxt of the Attttex in national regulations The Council, on 13 April 1948, adopted a resolution inviting the attention of Contracting States to the desirability of using in their own national regulations, as far as racticable, the recise language of those ICAO Standards that are of a regulatory character and also of indicat- ing departures from the Standards, in- cluding any additional national remla- tions that were important for the safety or regularity of air navigation.
