Record entry of Amendment on page 2.
Amendment 9 was adopted by the Council on 7 April 1976, became effective on 7 August 1976, and applicable on 30 December 1974. The Amendment introduces requirements for the safe- guarding and preservation of flight recorder records of aeroplanes involved in accidents and incidents provision and use of flight crew restraining devices procedures to be followed in the event of excessive cosmic radiation exposure during flight and the main- tenance of records for crew members on total cosmic radiation dosages. The Amendment also provides amplification of the specifications for the type of time-piece required for operations in accordance with Instrument Flight Rules and controlled VFR flights and provides a cross-reference to guidance material on SST fuel supplies. The opportunity presented by this Amendment was also taken to introduce changes to the Annex as a result of the adoption by the Council of amendments to companion documents - Annex 3 and Annex 14. These changes consist of the elimination of reference to PANS-MET and the revision of the definitions of Aerodrome, Runway Visual Range, Take-off Run Available and Landing Distance Available. Amendment 10 was adopted by the Council on 16 June 1976, became effective on 16 October 1976, and applicable on 6 October 1977. The Amendment requires the carriage of survival radio equipment over those areas in which search and rescue would be especially difficult as determined by States rather than regional air navigation agreement. Applicability The present edition of Annex 6, Part I, contains Standards and Recolnnlended Practices adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization as the minimum Standards applicable to the operation of aeroplanes in scheduled international air services and in non-scheduled international air transport operations for remuneration or hire. In conjunction, these two types of operations include all inter- national air transport operations conducted for remuneration or hire by aeroplanes. The distinction between them lies in the fact that scheduled international air services are especially provided for in the Convention in contradistinction to international air trans- port operations in general, of which non-scheduled international air transport operations for remuneration or hire were considered most urgently to require the establishment of International Standards and Recomniendcd Practices. The purpose of Annex 6, Part 1, is to contribute to the safety of international air navigation by providing criteria of safe operating practice and to contribute to the efficiency and regularity of inter- national air navigation by encouraging States to facilitate the passage over their territories of aeroplanes in international com- mercial air transport bclonging to other States that operate in conforniity with such Standards. Chapter 5 An element of the safety of an operation is the intrinsic safety of the aircraft, that is, its level of airworthiness. The level of air- worthiness of an aircraft is, however, not fully defined by the application of the airworthiness Standards of Annex 8, but also requires the application of those Standards in the present Annex that are coniplenientary to them. As originally adopted and also as amended by Amendments 1 to 138, the Annex contained a chapter "Aeroplane Operating Limitations" which included general provisions applicable to the operation of all aeroplanes within the scope of the Annex, a section or sections applicable to aeroplanes certificated in ICAO categories according to the then existent Annex 8, and a section applicable to aeroplanes not so certificated. At its' fourth session, the Operations Division, collaborating with the Airworthiness Division, made, in addition to the proposals that resulted in Amendments 128 to 133, reconinienda- tions concerning the use of a performance code as an alternative to the one prescribed for ICAO Category A aeroplanes in which some essential climb values had the status of Recomniended Practices. Further, the Airworthiness Division made recommen- dations concerning certain aspects of the certification in ICAO categories. As a result of those recommendations, the Council, on 2 December 1952, adopted Amendment 134 which became ef- fective I May 1953, and approved the incorporation of the alternative performance code as Attachment A, but stated its belief that since agreement had not yet been reached upon Standards covering performance, there existed no basis for certification in ICAO Category A. It urged the Contracting States to refrain from such certification pending the becoming effective of Standards on performance or until such time as the Council decides on the basic policy on airworthiness. The Assembly at its seventh session June 1953 endorsed the action already taken by the Council and the Air Navigation Com- mission to initiate a fundamental 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 Navigation 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 Conference. As a result of these studies a revised policy on international airworthiness was developed and it was approved by the Council in 1956. According to this policy the principle of certification in an ICAO Category was abandoned. Instead, Annex 8 included broad Standards which defined, for application by the competent national authorities, the complete 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, thereby achieving, among other purposes, protection of other aircraft, third persons and property. It was considered that this met the obligation of the Organization under Article 37 of the Convention to adopt international Standards of airworthiness. It was recognized that the ICAO Standards of airworthiness would not replace national regulations and that national codes of airworthiness containing the full scope and extent of detail considered necessary by individual States would be necessary as the basis for the certification of individual aircraft. Each State would establish its own comprehensive and detailed code of airworthiness, or would select a comprehensive and detailed code established by another Contracting State. The level of airwor thi- ness defined by this code would be indicated by the Standards, supplemented, if necessary, by Acceptable Means of Compliance. A revised text consistent with the above principles was prepared for Chapter 5 of Annex 6. It included a broad Standards that were complementary to the Standards related to aeroplane performance in Annex 8 and b two Acceptable Means of 6/10/77 No. 10
