International Civil Aviation Organization I-1-B.1 FAR’s 1st Hour Basis for the regulations International Civil Aviation Organization The Convention on International Civil Aviation, also known as the Chicago Convention, established the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a specialized agency of the United Nations charged with coordinating and regulating international air travel. The Convention establishes rules of airspace, aircraft registration and safety, and details the rights of the signatories in relation to air travel. The Convention also exempts air fuels from tax. The document was signed on December 7, 1944 in Chicago, Illinois, by 52 signatory states. It received the requisite 26th ratification on March 5, 1947 and went into effect on April 4, 1947, the same date that ICAO came into being. In October of the same year, ICAO became a specialized agency of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). The Convention has since been revised eight times (in 1959, 1963, 1969, 1975, 1980, 1997, 2000 and 2006). Links to all versions of the document can be found in the external links section. The original signed document resides in the National Archives of the United States.

Compliance Statement. 1) Preparation of the compliance statement benefits the applicant by systematically ensuring that all applicable regulatory aspects are appropriately addressed during the certification process. The compliance statement shall be in the form of a complete listing of all appropriate 14 CFR sections (for example, part 21, 43, 91, 108, 119, or 135) pertinent to the operation the applicant is proposing. This list should reference applicable subparts and each relevant section of the subparts. Next to each subparagraph, the applicant must provide a specific reference to a manual or other document, and may provide a brief narrative description that describes how the applicant will comply with each regulation. This statement also serves as a master index to the applicant's manual system to expedite the FAA's review and approval of the operation and manual system. The compliance statement is a living document that must be kept current as changes are incorporated in the applicant's system. A sample letter of compliance may be found at http://www.faa.gov/other_visit/aviation_industry/airline_operators/airline_cert/ within the compressed (zip) media file, Download 14 CFR Part 135 Certification Information. 2) Where the compliance information has been developed (for example, the manual material submitted with the formal application), a manual reference or description of the method of compliance must be entered next to the applicable regulatory section. 3) The list of the specific regulations and subparts, including all subparagraphs, must be presented in the manner prescribed in the two compliance statement examples below: a) 135.244, Operating experience: • General Operations Manual (GOM) p. 217, Para. 237 • GOM p. 218, Para. 238 • GOM p. 219, Para. 240 • Pilot crewmembers must acquire operating experience as follows: • GOM p. 220, Para. 241, Training Manual, p. 25 • GOM p. 221, Para. 242, Training Manual, p. 26 b) 135.65, Reporting mechanical irregularities. The GOM, page 37-5, paragraph 35, instructs the pilot-in-command (PIC) on the requirements for, and methods of completing, the aircraft discrepancy log. The PIC is required to review the log before each flight and to ascertain the status of each previous entry. The General Maintenance Manual (GMM) page 58-33, paragraph 665(1)(A), instructs maintenance personnel on the requirement to record discrepancies discovered during preflight checks and other types of checks.

6. Generally, what are Operations Specification I-1-B.1 FAR’s 1st Hour 6. Generally, what are Operations Specification 8900.1 Chapter 18 Background 1-112. EVOLUTION OF AIR COMMERCE SAFETY REGULATION. In Article I, Section 8, of the United States Constitution, Congress is given the power to regulate and control interstate commerce. Interstate highway, railway, and water modes of transportation were regulated before the advent of air transportation. Air transportation was not regulated until the Air Commerce Act of 1926 empowered the Secretary of Commerce to establish the necessary regulatory system to control and regulate air commerce. The initial regulatory system that was established evolved into an organized system of Civil Aviation Regulations (CAR). The CAR was supplemented by corresponding Civil Aviation Manuals (CAM) which contained policies, procedures, and an interpretation of each CAR section. The CAR and CAM became outmoded with the rapid growth of air transportation and with the introduction of turbojet transport category airplanes in the 1950s. Recodification of the CAR began in 1961 and was completed in 1964 with the adoption of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR).
