1 Notice Nuber: 01/2019 Version: 01 Effective Date: 15/01/2019 Subject: AMENDMENT TO SEYCHELLES MANUAL OF AERODROME STANDARDS 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. The objective of this NOTAL is to provide aerodroe operators and applicants with the aended text of part of the Seychelles Manual of Aerodroe Standards (SMAS) The contents of this NOTAL will be incorporated in the next revision of the SMAS. 2. RATIONALE 2.1. The International Civil Aviation Organization has recently adopted Aendent 14 to Annex 14 which took effect on 16 th July 2018 and becae applicable on 08 th Noveber As such, our National Regulations are being aended accordingly to reflect relevant parts of Aendent 14 to Annex Aendent 14 to Annex 14 has been effected to: Eliinate excesses in safety buffers resulting fro iproved aeroplane capabilities and actual operating safety perforances. It contributes to achieving a balance between the need for increased capacity and efficiency, and aintaining aviation safety at an acceptable level Update relevant parts of the Annex such that it is in line with ICAO Circulars 301 and 345 (yet to be published) and ICAO Doc Procedures for Air Navigation Services Aerodroes (PANS-Aerodroes) Reflect the restructuring of Annex 15 and the new ICAO Doc Procedures for Air Navigation Services Aeronautical Inforation Manageent (PANS-AIM) Additionally, scope of standards of Chapter 13 is being aended to include Wildlife in general instead of Birds specifically. This change widens the scope of these standards significantly and establishes requireents for ipleentation of adequate systes to onitor, anage, and/or reove any potential wildlife hazard to aircraft operations. Copliance to these will result in an increased level of safety. Page 1 of 24

Note See PANS-AIM (Doc 10066), Appendix Chapter 1 Introduction, Section 1.4 Certification of aerodroes, Page 1-30 Note. The intent of these specifications is to ensure the establishent of a regulatory regie so that copliance with the specifications in this Manual can be effectively enforced. It is recognized that the ethods of ownership, operation and surveillance of aerodroes differ aong States. The ost effective and transparent eans of ensuring copliance with applicable specifications is the availability of a separate safety oversight entity and a well-defined safety oversight echanis with support of appropriate legislation to be able to carry out the function of safety regulation of aerodroes. When an aerodroe is granted a certificate, it signifies to aircraft operators and other organizations operating on the aerodroe that, at the tie of certification, the aerodroe eets the specifications regarding the facility and its operation, and that it has,according to the certifying authority, the capability to aintain these specifications for the period of validity of the certificate.the certification process also establishes the baseline for continued onitoring of copliance with the specifications.inforation on the status of certification of aerodroes would need to be provided to the appropriate aeronautical inforation services for proulgation in the Aeronautical Inforation Publication (AIP).

4 5.5. Chapter 2 Application of Standards and Recoended Practices to Aerodroe, Section 2.2, Pages 2-7 to Use of ICAO Aerodroe Reference Code to specify aerodroe standards and recoended practices ICAO has devised a reference code to provide a siple ethod for inter-relating the nuerous specifications concerning the characteristics of aerodroes so as to provide a series of aerodroe facilities that are suitable for aeroplanes that are intended to operate at the aerodroe. The code is not intended to be used for deterining runway length or paveent strength requireents. The code is coposed of two eleents which are related to the aeroplane perforance characteristics and diensions. Eleent 1 is a nuber based on the aeroplane reference field length and eleent 2 is a letter based on the aeroplane wing span and outer ain gear wheel span. A particular specification is related to the ore appropriate of the two eleents of the code or to an appropriate cobination of the two code eleents. The code letter or nuber within an eleent selected for design purposes is related to the critical aeroplane characteristics for which the facility is provided This Manual of Aerodroe Standards adopts ICAO s ethod of applying the aerodroe reference code to deterine the characteristics required of aerodroes and aerodroe facilities Aerodroe Reference Code and aeroplane characteristics When applying the standards and recoended practices prescribed in this Manual, first identify the aeroplanes which the aerodroe is intended to serve are first identified and then deterine the two eleents of the code An aerodroe reference code code nuber and letter which is selected for aerodroe planning purposes shall be deterined in accordance with the characteristics if the aeroplane for which an aerodroe facility is intended The aeroplane reference code nubers and letters shall have the eanings assigned to the in Table 2-1 of this Manual The code nuber for eleent 1 shall be deterined fro Table 2-1 of this Manual, colun 1, selecting the code nuber corresponding to the highest value of the aeroplane reference field lengths of the aeroplanes for which the runway is intended. Note 1 The deterination of the aeroplane reference field length is solely for the selection of a code nuber and is not intended to influence the actual runway length provided. Note 2 Guidance on deterining the runway length is given in the Aerodroe Design Manual, (ICAO Doc 9157), Part 1 - Runways Page 4 of 24

5 The code letter for eleent 2 shall be deterined fro Table 2-1 of this Manual, colun 3, by selecting the code nuber letter which corresponds to the greatest wing span, or the greatest outer ain gear wheel span, whichever gives the ore deanding code nuber of the aeroplanes for which the facility is intended. Note Guidance to assist the aerodroe operator in on deterining the aerodroe reference code is given in the ICAO Aerodroe Design Manual (Doc 9157), Parts 1 and 2.

22 1. INTRODUCTION NOTICE TO AERODROME ATTACHMENT F to State letter AN 4/ /23 IMPACT ASSESSMENT IN RELATION TO AMENDMENT 14 TO ANNEX 14, VOLUME I 1.1 Aendent 14 to Annex 14, Volue I addresses a) odifications of aerodroe design specifications in Chapters 3 and 4; b) an aendent to update footnote e. in Table 4-1; and c) a consequential aendent, resulting fro the restructuring of Annex 15 and the proposed new PANS-AIM, relating to change of references, data quality requireents and perforance-based data error detection requireents. 2. IMPACT ASSESSMENT 2.1 Modification of aerodroe design specifications in Chapters 3 and Safety ipact: Neutral. The de-linking of the outer ain gear wheel span (OMGWS) fro current aerodroe reference code ethodology and the application of this paraeter in the relevant design provisions will not affect safety. Industry research provided convincing evidence that current separation distances can be reduced without any reduction in the level of safety. The reduction in runway width is based on actual landing deviation studies of code F aeroplanes which have deonstrated that the standard deviation fro the centreline of a 45 wide runway is less than what was assued previously. On taxiways, the risk level for veer-off is uch less than on runways due to the lower speed involved. Haronized taxiway values iprove the accuracy of aeroplane trajectory while aintaining the overall area coverage to sustain occasional excursions which are supported by shoulders and graded strip Financial ipact: Positive. For States, the certification of existing aerodroes fro code E to code F will be easier due to reduction in costs and fewer studies required. For aerodroe operators, acceptance of the proposed changes will significantly iprove efficiency and reduce construction and aintenance costs for any aerodroes in different parts of the world. Aerodroes can also accept code F operations within existing infrastructure, thus increasing capacity, particularly at congested aerodroes where slots are at a preiu. In ters of the costs, a 60 wide runway costs approxiately 20 per cent ore to build than one easuring 45 wide including 15 wide paved shoulders. For taxiways, a 2 reduction in taxiway width for large aerodroes, soe of which having as uch as 50 k or ore of taxiways, results in enorous savings. Furtherore, annual aintenance costs, incurring as a rule of thub one per cent of the construction costs, are also expected to be reduced with these iproved specifications Security ipact: Nil Environental ipact: Positive. Updated and iproved specifications will preclude overdesign/overprovisions; avoid unnecessary expansion/relocation; constitute a ore environentally-efficient use of land surface; be less dependent on natural resources and result in less use of toxic aterials for operations and aintenance Efficiency ipact: Positive. More efficient use of land surface, particularly at aerodroes where real estate is at a preiu. Aerodroes will be able to accept code F operations within existing infrastructure, thus increasing capacity and efficiency, particularly at congested aerodroes where slots are at a preiu.

23 due to States restrictions will have greater opportunities to deploy their fleet without any coplicated network planning Expected ipleentation tie: Between two to five years fro the applicability date. 2.2 Aendent concerning update to footnote e. in Table Safety ipact: Positive. The aendent ensures alignent aong requireents, as contained in Annex 14, Volue I, PANS-Aerodroes (Doc 9981) and Circulars 301 and 345 and avoids their isinterpretation. Therefore, there is an indirect benefit in ters of safety Financial ipact: Negligible Security ipact: Nil Environental ipact: Negligible Efficiency ipact: Positive. The aendent ensures alignent aong requireents, as contained in Annex 14, Volue I, Circulars 301, 345 and the PANS-Aerodroes (Doc 9981). Requireents are retrieved in a ore efficient way as they are cross-referenced. Therefore, the change is considered beneficial Expected ipleentation tie: Up to one year fro the applicability date. 2.3 Consequential aendent resulting fro the review and proposed restructuring of Annex 15 and the proposed new PANS-AIM, concerning change of references, data quality requireent and perforance-based data error detection requireents Safety ipact: Positive. The aendent ensures alignent aong requireents, as contained in Annex 14, Volue I, Annex 15 and the PANS-AIM (Doc 10066) and avoids isinterpretation. Additionally, the introduction of perforance-based requireents for data error detection allows for greater flexibility in ters of ipleentation techniques, leading to ore efficient processes and allowing an enhanced output in ters of quality. This results in a reduced risk of providing erroneous data and increases safety Financial ipact: Minial financial ipact to both States and Industry Security ipact: Nil Environental ipact: Negligible Efficiency ipact: Positive. The aendent to Annex 14, Volue I relocates the quality requireents for aeronautical data into a single reference (the Aeronautical Data Catalogue), which will facilitate copliance by Contracting States, and allow future changes in aeronautical data specificity to be updated with greater ease. Requireents are cross-referenced and therefore retrieved in a ore efficient way Expected ipleentation tie: States will require no ore than one year to odify their regulatory fraework to take into account the new references to Annex 15 and the PANS-AIM.
