Updated rules for civil aviation have been introduced in Uzbekistan. The 'Uzaviatsiya' Agency approved these new aviation norms, which fully comply with the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
These documents regulate aspects such as air traffic control, the compilation of aeronautical charts, and the functioning of aeronautical information services. The new acts were officially registered with the Ministry of Justice and created in accordance with the provisions of Annex 11 'Air Traffic Services' to the Convention on International Civil Aviation.
Furthermore, the Agency's director adopted regulatory and technical documents concerning aeronautical charts and aeronautical information services.
What is ICAO and why are its standards necessary?
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations whose task is to establish international cooperation in the field of civil aviation. The main mission of this organization is to ensure the safe and orderly development of world aviation.
ICAO is responsible for developing international standards and recommended practices that define the requirements for flight safety, air traffic control, navigation, airport operations, and other technical details of aviation. States use these standards as a basis for creating and updating their own aviation regulations.
The organization's activities affect specific components of the aviation system. For example, ICAO assigns unique four-letter codes to airports, which are used in meteorological, aeronautical information, and flight plans, as well as on aeronautical charts. The organization also promotes the formation of unified approaches to airspace management and the interaction of aviation services from different countries.
Thanks to ICAO standards, aviation systems of different states can operate under similar rules, which is critically important for international flights when aircraft pass through the airspace of several countries. It was previously announced that a specialized aerodrome calibration service would be launched in Uzbekistan, which will be responsible for the accuracy of every landing.
