Historical background Standards and Recommended Practices for Aerodromes were first adopted by the Council on 29 May 1951 pursuant to the provisions of Article 37 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago 1944) and designated as ICAO Annex 14. to the Convention. The Standards and Recommended Practices were based on recommendations of the Aerodromes, Air Routes and Ground Aids Division at its third session in September 1947 and at its fourth session in November 1949. Status of Manual Components a) Standard : Any specification for physical characteristics, configuration, material, performance, personnel or procedure, the uniform application of which is recognized as necessary for the safety or regularity of international air navigation.

10 B) Appendices comprising material grouped separately for convenience but forming part of this Standards. c) Definitions of terms used in the Standard which are not self- explanatory in that they do not have accepted dictionary meanings. A definition does not have independent status but is an essential part of each Standard in which the term is used, since a change in the meaning of the term would affect the specification. d) Tables and Figures which add to or illustrate a Standard and which are referred to therein, form part of the associated Standard and have the same status. e) Notes included in the text, where appropriate, to give factual information or reference bearing on the Standards in question, but not constituting part of the Standards. f) Attachments comprising material supplementary to the Standards or included as a guide to their application. Editorial practices The units of measurement used in this document are in accordance with the International System of Units (SI) as specified in ICAO Annex 5 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation.
