ICAO governance Assembly 191 States - every 3 years - agrees budget, elects Council and agrees policy by way of Assembly Resolutions Council 36 States 3 sessions per year each of 3-4 weeks supported by Committees Air Navigation Commission 19 independent Commissioners elected by Council, and 8 Observers from international organizations Council also elects Presidents of Council and of ANC, and the Secretary General 8
ICAO objectives 2014-2016 Safety Air Navigation Capacity and Efficiency Security and Facilitation Economic Development of Air Transport Environmental Protection 9
Major ICAO events in rest of 2013 38 th (triennial) Assembly (24 September - 4 October) Election of the 36 member States to the Council Adoption of the 2014, 2015, 2016 Budgets Agreement to Assembly Resolutions ACI will present papers that support assembly resolutions, because ICAO has already adopted what we want Examples: A-CDM and PBN as part of the ASBU approach which we support Advanced ATM Techniques Symposium and Workshop (4-6 November) 10
ACI advocacy for airport views within ICAO Our priority - make an ongoing contribution to ICAO documents (the hand that holds the pen influences the debate!): Annex 14 (Aerodromes) - (new amdt in force November 2013) future examples: Airport Design taxiway separation reduction physical characteristics of aerodromes clear definitions of purposes and requirements Annex 19 (Safety Management) PANS-Aerodromes (first ed. to be sent out for consultation in October, second ed. with SOPs being worked on by ACI) Runway Safety Team Manual (new draft out) Aerodrome Design Manual (all parts) Airport Services Manual (all parts) A-CDM document (form unknown) and standards 11

ICAO Global Runway Safety Programme Runway Safety Working together to resolve a complex problem ICAO Runway Safety Programme matrix organisation launched with agreed mandate and expected outcome Future work plan needs overhaul with input and agreement from key partners (not just regional seminars) Agree on metrics for measuring results and targets for when outcome has been achieved Developing predictive analysis of data to identify mitigation measures ICAO continues as hub for partner runway safety implementation support efforts (web site) Feedback required on draft RST handbook and analysis of RST survey results ANB to manage global strategy and outputs; Regional Offices/RASGs support regional activities and RSTs Support upcoming RRSSs in Istanbul and Kuala Lumpur 14
ICAO RS Programme Progress Accomplishments Global Runway Safety Symposium 2011 2011-2013 Annex 14 A11 & CIR 329 Promotional articles & flyers Runway SP web site Draft RST Handbook RST Survey 9 RRSSs to date in all regions (2 cycles) Standardization of RRSS template presentations in coordination with Runway Safety Partners Development of hands-on exercises for RRSS workshop Cooperation Matrix for RRSS delivery

ICAO Annexes Annex 14 (Aerodromes) In February the Council adopted Amendment 11 to Annex 14, Volume 1 Aerodrome Design and Operations which contains a number of important issues, including runway surface friction reporting; runway end safety areas (RESA); touchdown lights and firefighting requirements. Changes designed to reduce the number of runway incursions, excursions and enhance safety. Annex 19 (Safety Management) The first edition of the new Annex 19, drafted by the Safety Management Panel (on which ACI sits), was approved by the Council in February and will become applicable in November 2013. The Annex consolidates safety management principles from other Annexes and is divided into five sections; definitions, applicability, state safety management responsibilities, safety management systems and data collection, analysis and exchange. ICAO has started work on the second edition which will contain new material - ACI is participating 17
PANS - Aerodromes Procedures for Air Navigation Services Aerodromes The first four chapters of the PANS will be sent out for State comment this year ACI requested and obtained that all material on aerodrome certification and safety assessments in the draft was retained (there was a move to say that this was not the purpose of PANS-Aerodromes). PANS-Aerodromes will be of great use to existing airports that must accommodate larger aircraft than they were designed for, often cannot be designed strictly to ICAO codes, and there must be a means of permitting safe operations based on aircraft type. The PANS-Aerodromes has a higher status than the Circular on New Larger Aircraft that is currently the only guidance on this subject. For the second edition (2016), ACI is participating in the drafting of a new chapter on Aerodrome Operational Management which will contain procedures not currently in Annex 14. 18

Wildlife Hazard Management Handbook Publication Implemented new process for developing the handbook Formed a Working Group in the STSC committee Holding a Workshop for the Working Group(March 7 TH 8 TH ) Setting up Guidelines, Structure and timeline Working Group members and Guidelines Purpose : handbook shall provide guidance material for all aerodromes (large or small) to develop a wildlife management programme Structure : concise (about 30 pages) handbook and detailed appendices Published at the WAGA in June 2013 Future Plan Amendment will be published every year New edition will be published every 3 years 21
Runway Safety Handbook Publication the new handbook will provide best practices that can be implemented to enhance runway safety. The contents are totally focused on the perspective of aerodrome operators and its contents are: Runway Safety describes how to establish a Runway Safety Team, and implement a Runway Safety Programme; Planning and Design explains how to prevent or mitigate hazards of runway incursion, excursion and confusion during Master planning and Designing; Operations provides methodologies of runway inspection, dissemination procedures of Aeronautical Information Service(AIS) and best practices for FOD management and obstacle control ; and Maintenance, Temporary Restriction and Construction provides best practices and proactive activities to prevent or mitigate accident or incident for those activities. 22
ICAO AOSWG (Aerodrome Operations & Services Working Group) PANS-Aerodromes development and influence on Annex 14 New technology; FOD Detection System & Green Taxiing De-icing/anti-icing ICAO FTF (Friction Task Force) FTF has been developing a ADCON (aerodrome condition) format to use common language among all stakeholders - based on US research (TALPA-ARC) Implementing and disseminating ADCON, future work is being discussed Annex 6, 8,11, 14 and 15 should be changed PANS-OPS, ATM and ABC should be changed 23
