FOREWORD

Annex 18 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, entitled “The Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air”, requires in Chapter 10 that dangerous goods training programmes be established and updated as provided for in the ICAO document Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods.by Air (Dot 9284).

The Technical Instructions (Part 6) require that initial and recurrent dangerous goods training programmes be established and maintained for or on behalf of the following:

- regular shippers of dangerous goods and shippers’ agents;

- operators;

- agencies located at an aerodrome which perform, on behalf of the operator, the act of receiving, loading, unloading, transferring or other processing of passengers or cargo;

- agencies other than operators involved in processing or transporting either passengers or cargo; and

- agencies engaged in the security screening of passengers and their baggage.

It also recommends that these training programmes be subjected to review and approval as determined by the appropriate national authority, with the exception of the operators’ training programmes which must be subject to review and approval by the appropriate authority of the State of the operator.

A series of four books, of which this is Book 3, has been produced for the training of particular categories of personnel involved in the transport of dangerous goods by air. The four books are:

Book 1: Shippers, cargo agents and operators’ cargo acceptance staff

Book 2: Load planners and flight crew

Book 3: Passenger handling staff and flight attendants

Book 4: Loading and warehouse personnel

This programme of books has been developed to help achieve a uniform world-wide level of training in all aspects of handling and transporting dangerous goods by air and particularly to assist those who are responsible for the establishment of training programmes. The material contained in these books was developed jointly by ICAO and IATA in support of the provision contained in Annex I8 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. It is believed that the use of an internationally developed training programme will facilitate approval by national authorities.

It is intended that revised editions of these books will be published from time to time to maintain alignment with changes to the provisions on which they are based.

This third edition of the training programme series is based on the 1993-1994 Edition of the Technical Instructions.

INTRODUCTION

This is a self-study training book intended to familiarize passenger handling personnel, including flight attendants, with the provisions of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Technical Instructiotzs for the Safe Tramport of Dangerous Goods b.y Air. The ICAO Technical Instructions contain the internationally agreed rules which will ensure dangerous goods are carried safely. You need to be aware of the content of these provisions so that you may monitor the system where possible and properly carry out your own responsibilities. Do not attempt to memorize any part of this book or the Technical Instructions.

Dangerous goods are commodities with u potential.for dunger hut, if the regulutions ure fMowed, trunsporting such goods by air is not dungemus.

Within the definition of dangerous goods are not only obvious substances such as acids, radioactive material, poisons and explosives but also some unlikely items such as magnets, wheelchairs with wet-cell batteries, breathing apparatus with compressed gas cylinders, perishables packed in dry ice, pesticides, etc.

The Technical Instructions cover the procedures to be followed by everyone involved in preparing a consignment of dangerous goods and transporting it on an aircraft.

The pages that follow will help you to understand the relevant parts of the Technical Instructions more fully.

Throughout this book, cross-references to the relevant parts of the Technical Instructions are given. Extracts from some parts are also shown as examples. The cross-references (which appear in parentheses) always begin with a figure indicating the Part of the Technical Instructions, followed by a semicolon and then followed by a group of figures representing the paragraph. For example:

4;2.3 refers to Part 4, paragraph 2.3.

A single figure following the semicolon refers to a whole chapter. For example:

2;9 refers to Part 2, Chapter 9.

It is worth noting that a detailed Index appears at the back of the Technical Instructions (Attachment 4) and this will help you find any other references you may need.

It is intended that you read the relevant paragraphs of the Instructions in conjunction with the notes contained in this book to obtain a fuller understanding of the procedures involved in the transport of dangerous goods by air. To test your understanding, it is suggested that you attempt to answer the review questions given at the end of the book, using the Instructions for reference as necessary. The answers to the review questions are also given to enable you to check your own responses and to indicate areas where further study might be required.

The Technical Instructions are updated and reissued every two years. Only the current edition should be used

DANGEROUS GOODS

General

Dangerous goods may be divided into three categories:

a) those which are acceptable for transport by air provided all the provisions of the Instructions are complied with;

b) those which are forbidden for transport by air; and

c) those which are excepted from the provisions of the Instructions.

Provided that the requirements of the Technical Instructions are followed, the desired level of safetv will be maintained.

Dangerous goods acceptable - 1;1.2

A great many dangerous goods may be carried safely on aircraft as cargo provided they are properly prepared for transport in accordance with the Instructions. Generally, however, they are not permitted in passengers’ or crews’ checked baggage or as carry-on articles (but see “Dangerous goods excepted or limited” below).

A major aspect of the requirements is the use of secure packaging when transporting limited quantities of dangerous goods. The Instructions, in general, restrict the quantity per package rather than the number of packages.

Dangerous goods forbidden for transport - 1;2.1

Certain dangerous goods are considered to be too dangerous for transport by air under any circumstances. Special care is taken to ensure that such goods are not accepted for transport.

Dangerous goods excepted or limited

The provisions contained in the Instructions do not apply to the following:

A. Exceptions for dangerous goods of the operator (1;2.3)

a) articles and substances which would otherwise be classed as dangerous goods but which are required to be aboard the aircraft in accordance with the pertinent airworthiness requirements and operating regulations or that are authorized by the State of the operator to meet special requirements;

b) aerosols, alcoholic beverages, perfumes, colognes, safety matches and liquefied gas lighters carried aboarh a passenger aircraft by the operator for use or sale on the aircraft during the flight or series of flights, but excluding disposable gas lighters and those lighters liable to leak when exposed to reduced pressure;

‘3 dry ice intended for use in food and beverage service aboard the aircraft.

--`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

Replacement parts and spares must meet the normal requirements of these Instructions except that, when consigned by operators, they can be carried in specially designed containers.

B. Dangerous goods in excepted quantities (1;2.5)

Certain types of dangerous goods may be carried in small quantities without complying with all the requirements of the Instructions. Special provisions have been made which exempt them from the usual provisions for dangerous goods including documentation, hazard labels and segregation loading. However, such packages must be marked “Dangerous goods in excepted quantities” ( I ;2.5.6.1).

Packages containing excepted quantities of dangerous goods do not require any special handling or loading except that they must not be carried in a passenger cabin or on the flight deck.

An incident involving leakage or spillage of a package containing excepted quantities of dangerous goods or any other occurrences must be reported in accordance with Part 5;4.4 and 4.5 of the Instructions.

C. Dangerous goods in limited quantities (1;2.6)

The Instructions contain provisions for limited quantities of dangerous goods. These recognize that many dangerous goods when in reasonably limited quantities present a reduced hazard during transport and can safely be carried in good quality packagings of the types specified in the Instructions but which have not been tested and marked accordingly. The provisions applicable for dangerous goods in limited quantities appear in Part 1;2.6 of the Instructions. The p&king instructions are indicated in Column 9 of Table 2-14 where they are prefixed by the letter “Y”; the associated quantity limitation is shown in Column IO. These packages must be marked, labelled and stowed in the same way as other dangerous goods.

D. Dangerous goods carried by passengers or crew (9;1.2)

Dangerous goods must not be carried by passengers or crew members as or in carry-on baggage, or as checked baggage, or on their person, except for the following:

a) b)

c) d)

fl

g)

h)

alcoholic beverages not exceeding 70 per cent alcohol by volume when packed in receptacles of less than 5 L; non-radioactive medicinal or toilet articles (including aerosols). Also aerosols in Division 2.2, with no subsidiary risk, for sporting or home use in checked baggage only. The total net quantity of all such.articles carried by each person must not exceed 2 kg or 2 L and the net quantity of each single article must not exceed 0.5 kg or 0.5 L. The term ‘medicinal or toilet articles (including aerosols)’ is intended to include such items as hair sprays, perfumes, colognes and medicines containing alcohols; with the approval of the operator(s), small gaseous oxygen or air cylinders required for medical use; small carbon dioxide gas cylinders worn for the operation of mechanical limbs, also spare cylinders of a similar size if required to ensure an adequate supply for the duration of the journey; with the approval of the operator(s), as checked baggage only, securely boxed cartridges for sporting purposes, in Division 1.4S, in quantities not exceeding 5 kg gross mass per person for that person’s own use, excluding ammunition with explosive or incendiary projectiles. Allowances for more than one person must not be combined into one or more packages; dry ice in quantities not exceeding 2 kg per person, when used to pack non-dangerous perishables, provided the package permits the release of carbon dioxide gas:

- in carry-on baggage; or - with the approval of the operator(s), in checked baggage:

safety matches or a lighter intended for use by an individual when carried on the person. However, lighters containing unabsorbed liquid fuel (other than liquefied gas), lighter fuel and lighter refills are not permitted on one’s person or in checked or carry-on baggage; radioisotopic cardiac pacemakers or other devices, including those powered by lithium batteries, implanted into a person, or radio-pharmaceuticals contained within the body of a person as the result of medical treatment;

9 with the approval of the operator(s), wheelchairs or other battery-powered mobility aids with non-spillable batteries (see Packing Instruction 806 and Special Provision A67), as checked baggage provided that the battery is disconnected, the battery terminals are insulated to prevent accidental short circuits and the battery is securely attached to the wheelchair or mobility aid;

9 with the approval of the operator(s), wheelchairs or other battery-powered mobility aids with spillable batteries as checked baggage, provided that the wheelchair or mobility aid can be loaded, stowed, secured and unloaded always in an upright position and that the battery is disconnected, the battery terminals are insulated to prevent accidental short circuits and the battery is securely attached to the wheelchair or mobility aid. If the wheelchair or mobility aid cannot be loaded, stowed, secured and unloaded always in an upright position, the battery must be removed and the wheelchair or mobility aid may then be carried as checked baggage without restriction. The removed battery must be carried in strong, rigid packagings as follows:

1) these packagings must be leaktight, impervious to battery fluid and be protected against upset by securing to pallets or by securing them in cargo compartments using appropriate means of securement (other than by bracing with freight or baggage) such as by use of restraining straps, brackets or holders;

2) batteries must be protected against short circuits, secured upright in these packagings and surrounded by compatible absorbent material sufficient to absorb their total liquid contents; and

3) these packagings must be marked ‘Battery, wet, with wheelchair’ or ‘Battery, wet, with mobility aid’ and be labelled with a ‘Corrosive’ label (Figure 4-19) and with a package orientation label (Figure 4-23).

The pilot-in-command must be informed of the location of a wheelchair or mobility aid with an installed battery or the location of a packed battery.

It is recommended that passengers make advance arrangements with each operator; also unless batteries are non-ipillable they should be fitted, where feasible, with spill-resistant vent caps;

k) hair curlers containing hydrocarbon gas, no more than one per person, provided that the safety cover is securely fitted over the heating element. Gas refills for such curlers must not be carried;

1) with the approval of the operator(s), as carry-on baggage only, a mercurial barometer carried by a representative of a government weather bureau or similar official agency. The barometer must be packed in a strong outer packaging, having a sealed inner liner or a bag of strong leak-proof and puncture-resistant material impervious to mercury, which will prevent the escape of mercury from the package irrespective of its position. The pilot-in-command must be informed of any such barometer;

m) with the approval of the operator(s), one small carbon dioxide cylinder per person fitted into a self-inflating life-jacket, plus one spare cartridge;

n) with the approval of the operator(s), heat producing articles (i.e. battery-operated equipment such as underwater torches and soldering equipment which, if accidentally activated, will generate extreme heat and can cause fire) may be carried in carry- on baggage only. The heat producing component, or the energy source, must be removed so as to prevent unintentional functioning during transport;

0) with the approval of the operator(s) and as checked baggage only, a small oxygen generator for personal use, one per person, that meets the following requirements:

1) the generator, without its packaging, must be capable of withstanding a 1 .g m drop test onto a rigid, non-resilient, flat and horizontal surface, in the position most likely to cause damage, without loss of its contents and without actuation;

2) the generator must be equipped with an actuating device with at least two positive means of preventing unintentional actuation;

3) when actuated at a temperature of 20°C with the generator well insulated, the temperature of any external surface of the generator must not exceed 1OO’C;

4) the generator must be in the manufacturer’s original packaging and this must include a sealed outer wrapping or other means which can be taken as clear evidence that the generator has not been tampered with; and

5) the generator packaging must be marked to indicate that it meets the above requirements. p) one small medical or clinical thermometer which contains mercury, for personal use, when in its protective case.

In the case of electric wheelchairs, if the passenger is unable to confirm that the battery is of the non-spillable type, it must be treated as a spillable battery.

Security attache cases (which may contain lithium batteries and/or pyrotechnic material) are totally forbidden.

Dangerous Goods 5 ---__

Passengers who wish to carry dangerous goods

It is dangerous, and unlawful, for passengers or crew members to have dangerous goods on their person, in carry-on baggage or in checked baggage apart from the excepted items mentioned above (9; 1.2). Passengers should have been warned of this by means of notices displayed at the check-in counter and printed on their tickets (9;2. I ).

Passengers who wish to transport dangerous goods can only do so by submitting them, well in advance, to the airline’s cargo department. There a fully trained acceptance clerk will check the goods to ensure that they are safely packaged and properly documented. This can never be done at the passenger check-in counter.

STD.ICAO 7375-AN/913 BOOK 3-ENGL Jqq3 m 48tlj,tjlb flnqo327 bfl-f m

CLASSES AND DIVISIONS

Dangerous goods are divided into nine classes reflecting the type of risk involved, but the order in which they are listed does not imply a relative degree of danger (2;l to 2;9). It is the responsibility of the shipper to classify the dangerous goods into one of these classes.

The nine classes of dangerous goods are:

Class I Explosives

Class 2 Gases

Class 3 Flammable liquids

Class 4 Flammable solids; substances liable to spontaneous combustion; substances which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases

Class 5 Oxidizing substances; organic peroxides

Class 6 Poisonous (toxic) and infectious substances

Class 7 Radioactive material

Class 8 Corrosives

Class 9 Miscellaneous dangerous goods

In some classes, dangerous goods are further divided into divisions. The division is expressed by placing a decimal point after the class number and reflecting the number of the division, e.g. Division 6.1. In these cases, reference is made only to the division and not to the class, e.g. Division 5.2, not Class 5, Division 2.

Dangerous goods are identified by proper shipping names and UN numbers. These names and numbers are assigned under the United Nations classification system to specific articles and substances.

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES

When examining, accepting or, in the case of flight attendants, assisting in the stowage of carry-on baggage, great care must be taken to ensure that no dangerous goods, other than those specifically listed in Part 9 of the Technical Instructions as described earlier, are carried on the aircraft as either checked or carry-on baggage.

Typical examples of items which may contain or indicate the presence of dangerous goods are listed below. If such items, or similar ones, are noticed or declared, the passenger should be questioned about the exact nature of the contents.

Aerosol cans In aircraft, decreased cabin pressure at altitude may result either in leaks, if the can is not properly sealed, or in the contents being expelled at a much greater rate than normal when used. They are also very susceptible to heat, and there have been incidents where cans have exploded as a result of becoming overheated in an aircraft cabin. The aerosol spray is very often flammable. See “Provisions for dangerous goods carried by passengers or crew”, 9; I .2 b).

Aqualung gas cylinders

Bull semen

Camping equipment

Chemicals

Cryogenic liquid

Dental apparatus

Diagnostic specimens

Diving equipment

Drilling or mining equipment May contain explosive(s) and/or other dangerous goods.

Electrical equipment May contain magnetized material, mercury in switch gear, electron tubes or wet batteries.

These cylinders used for water (scuba) diving usually contain a compressed gas and as such cannot be accepted as baggage. Empty cylinders (pressure gauge reads zero) are acceptable.

Is kept cool either with cryogenic (very cold) liquefied gas, which continuously vaporizes (see cryogenic liquid below), or with dry ice.

Beware of cooking equipment especially Butane (LPG) metal bottles which contain a flammable compressed gas. Camping equipment can also contain flammable liquid, for example, kerosene.

Many chemicals are dangerous and only qualified cargo staff can advise if they are acceptable as cargo. Dangerous chemicals must never be accepted as baggage.

Indicates liquefied gases at very low temperature such as nitrogen, helium, argon, etc. Cryogenic liquids are dangerous if spilled because they can cause suffocation and may damage electrical circuits.

May contain dangerous chemicals such as resins or solvents.

May contain infectious substances.

May contain high intensity diving lamps which can generate extremely high heat when operated in air. In order to be carried safely, the bulb or battery must be disconnected.

Expeditionary equipment May contain explosives (flares), flammable liquid (gasoline), flammable gas (camping gas) or other dangerous goods.

Fireworks Usually either highly flammable or explosive.

Frozen embryos May involve use of liquid nitrogen.

Frozen food, fish, meat, vegetables, etc.

Gas cigarette lighters

Normally packed with dry ice (solid carbon dioxide). See “Provisions for dangerous goods carried by passengers or crew”, 9; I .2 f).

The decreased pressure in the cabin and in the hold while flying at high altitudes can cause cigarette lighters with unabsorbed liquid fuel to leak and lighters with liquefied gas under pressure to provide a larger flame than usual. Some low-cost plastic disposable lighters are not fitted with a guard to prevent the release valve from being accidentally operated. Thus all these types of lighters may be hazardous whether in checked baggage or brought into the cabin. See “Provisions for dangerous goods carried by passengers or crew”, 9; I .2 g).

Gas cylinders If filled, contain gas under pressure and can only be accepted as cargo.

Household cleaners Cleaners such as detergents, stain removers, bleaches, etc., can contain either chlorides or ammonias. Many bleaching powders contain strong oxidizers, which react with other materials producing fumes, smoke and fire. Some detergents and stain removers contain ammonia, which is very corrosive and reacts with oxidizing materials. Ammonia also produces toxic fumes. There has been more than one instance where an aircraft has had to return to the airport because of ammonia fumes affecting the crew and passengers.

Household goods May contain dangerous goods such as paints, aerosols, bleaching powder, flammable liquids, household cleaners, etc.

Instruments May contain mercury in instruments such as barometers, mercury switches, manometers, industrial thermometers, rectifier tubes, etc.

Laboratory/testing equipment

Lighter fluid

May contain various dangerous chemicals.

Is a highly volatile and flammable liquid which can produce an explosive concentration of vapour in an enclosed space. See “Provisions for dangerous goods carried by passengers or crew”, 9; I .2 g).

Machinery parts

Matches (book matches and boxed matches)

Medical supplies

A very general term which might include several classes of dangerous goods (adhesives, paints, sealants, solvents, etc.).

Must not be accepted in checked or carry-on baggage but only on the passenger’s person. Book matches can easily have the protective flap dislodged when moved about in luggage. There have been numerous incidents where the flap has been dislodged and a fire started when match heads rubbed against the striking surface of another book of matches. See “Provisions for dangerous goods carried by passengers or crew”, 9; I .2 g).

Be certain that they do not contain dangerous chemicals before accepting as baggage.

Precautionary Measures 15

Mercury

Paint

Parts of automobile (car, motor, motorcycle)

Pharmaceuticals

Photographic equipment

Racing cars or motorcycle team May contain flammable aerosols, nitromethane or other gasoline additives, or wet equipment batteries.

Refrigerators

Repair kits

Samples

Self-propelled vehicles (motorcycles, motorized bicycles, children’s automobiles, etc.)

Solvents and adhesives

Swimming pool chemicals

Switches in electrical equipment or instruments

Tool boxes

Is a metal which remains in liquid form at temperatures as low as -38°C. It gives off toxic fumes at high temperatures and low pressures. Liquid mercury will very quickly penetrate aluminium and cause it to become brittle and weak. As most aircraft parts are produced from aluminium, it can cause severe structural damage if spilt in an aircraft, especially as it is difficult to trace and remove.

Most paints are considered as flammable liquids and can be accepted only as cargo. Classified as paints are enamels, lacquers, stains, shellac, varnish, polish, fillers and thinners. These all contain solvents which are highly flammable. Unless the container is tightly and effectively sealed and packed, the reduced air pressure in an aircraft hold could cause the tin to pop open and the contents to spill. There have been numerous incidents where cans of paint have opened and spilt, not only damaging other goods and the aircraft but also producing explosive vapour in the aircraft hold.

May contain wet batteries, etc.

May contain dangerous chemicals either listed individually by name or covered by n.0.s. entries.

Beware of hazardous chemicals which are often found in such equipment. Acids present a number of hazards depending on the particular type. In general they are corrosive and will attack many of the materials used in aircraft construction. They can also cause very severe burns when in contact with the skin. Some acids such as nitric and perchloric are strong oxidizers and, if spilt, they could combine with other substances to create a fire or an explosion.

May contain gases or dangerous liquids.

May contain dangerous substances such as adhesives, cellulose, paint, organic peroxides, solvent, etc.

If samples contain any dangerous goods, they can only be accepted as cargo.

May contain gasoline and/or battery.

Adhesives often contain solvents such as acetone, methanol, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or acrylonitrile which are very flammable and, in some cases, toxic. If a spillage or a leakage of adhesive or solvents occurs, there will be a fire hazard and, depending on the type of solvent or adhesive, possibly a toxicity hazard.

Swimming pool chemicals often contain dangerous goods, such as oxidizers and corrosives.

May contain mercury.

May contain explosives (power rivets), compressed gases or aerosols, flammable gases (butane cylinders), flammable adhesives or paints, corrosive liquids, etc.

16 Dangerous Goods Training Programme

Book 3 - Passenger Handling Stafand Flight Attendants

Vaccines May be packed in dry ice (solid carbon dioxide). See “Provisions for dangerous goods carried by passengers or crew”, 9; I .2 f).

Wet-cell batteries These consist of metal plates immersed in a liquid electrolyte, either a dilute sulphuric acid or potassium hydroxide. Both of these electrolytes are corrosive liquids. These batteries could cause damage either through spillage or accidental short-circuiting of the terminals resulting in a fire. There have been many occurrences where battery acid has leaked, causing damage to both the aircraft structure and adjacent baggage. See “Provisions for dangerous goods carried by passengers or crew”, 9; I .2 j).

Articles and substances which do not fall within the definitions of dangerous goods but which, in the event of leakage, may cause a serious clean-up problem or corrosion to aluminium on a long-term basis, should be checked to ensure at least that the packaging is adequate to prevent leakage during transport. These may include brine, powdered or liquid dyes, pickled foodstuffs, etc. Passenger handling staff, when accepting live animals as baggage, should ensure that the animal container is leak-proof.

In case of doubt as to the acceptability of an item or substance the question must be referred to an appropriate authority. (It is preferable to leave doubtful articles behind rather than risk endangering the aircraft and possibly breaking the law.)

If a flight attendant finds, or suspects, that a passenger has carried onto the aircraft an item of dangerous goods, either the ground supervisor or the pilot-in-command must be informed at once.

MARKING - 4;2 AND LABELLING - 4;3

A passenger may attempt to carry, either as checked or carry-on baggage, a package bearing dangerous goods markings or labels. For example:

“Mercury, UN 2809”, with a Class 8, Corrosive label.

This would indicate that the package contains, or might possibly contain, dangerous goods and the passenger must be challenged to determine the exact nature of the contents. Should the marking or label indicate the correct nature of the goods, the package must be refused as baggage and the owner referred to the cargo department. Should the contents be other than dangerous goods, the passenger must remove or obliterate the marking and/or label prior to acceptance.

The full range of hazard and handling labels is shown, in colour, on the last page of this book.

INFORMATION TO PASSENGERS - 9;2.1

Each operator must ensure that information is promulgated in such a manner that passengers are warned as to the type of goods that they are prohibited from transporting aboard an aircraft.

As a minimum, this must consist of:

a) notices sufficient in number and prominently displayed at any location where tickets are issued and baggage checked and in aircraft boarding areas and baggage claim areas; and

b) information with the passenger ticket.

States must ensure that operators, or any other person, organization, or enterprise involved, provide the above information to passengers.

ICAO TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS

The following summary gives the status, and also describes in general terms the contents of the various series of technical publications issued by the Inter- national Civil Aviation Organization. N does not include specialized publications that do not fall specifically within one of the series, such as the Aeronautical Chart Catalogue or the Meteorological Tables for International Air Navigation.

International Standards and Recommended Prac- tices are adopted by the Council in accordance with Articles 54, 37 and 90 of the Convention on Inter- national Civil Aviation and are designated, for convenience, as Annexes to the Convention. The uniform application by Contracting States of the specifications contained in the International Standards is recognized as necessary for the safety or regularity of international air navigation while the uniform appli- dation of the specifications in the Recommended Practices is regarded as desirable in the interest of safety, regularity or efficiency of international air navigation. Knowledge of any differences between the national regulations or practices of a State and those established by an International Standard is essential to the safety or regularity of international air navigation. In the event of non-compliance with an International Standard, a State has, in fact, an obligation, under Article 38 of the Convention, to notify the Council of any differences. Knowledge of differences from Recommended Practices may also be important for the safety of air navigation and, although the Convention does not impose any obligation with regard thereto, the Council has invited Contracting States to notify such differences in addition to those relating to International Standards.

Procedures for Air Navigation Services (PANS) are approved by the Council for world-wide application. They contain, for the most part, operating procedures

regarded as not yet having attained a sufficient degree of maturity for adoption as International Standards and Recommended Practices, as well as material of a more permanent character which is considered too detailed for incorporation in an Annex, or is susceptible to frequent amendment, for which the processes of the Convention would be too cumbersome.

Regional Supplementary Procedures (SUPPS) have a status similar to that of PANS in that they are approved by the Council, but only for application in the respective regions. They are prepared in consolidated form, since certain of the procedures apply to overlapping regions or are common to two or more regions.

The following publications are prepared by authority of the Secretary General in accordance with the principles and policies approved by the Council.

Technical Manuals provide guidance and information in amplification of the Lnternational Standards, Recommended Practices and PANS, the implementation of which they are designed to facilitate.

Air Navigation Plans detail requirements for facilities and services for international air navigation in the respective ICAO Air Navigation Regions. They are prepared on the authority of the Secretary General on the basis of recommendations of regional air navigation meetings and of the Council action thereon. The plans are amended periodically to reflect changes in requirements and in the status of implementation of the recommended facilities and services.

ICAO Circulars make available specialized information of interest to Contracting States. This includes studies on technical subjects.
