Adapting to changing times
• In 1990s, it was recognized that State of Registry and
State of Operator are not always same
– Exportable go beyond crews and aircraft
– Now extend to operators
• Clause introduced in Annex 6 Parts I and III:
– AOC must meet minimum standards in Annex 6 to be
recognized by other States

Framework that brings it all together
• International recognition of:
– Pilot licenses
– Certificates of airworthiness
– AOCs
+
• Article 37 of Convention
– Uniformity in regulations, standards, procedures

Putting the pieces together
• Articles in Convention are building blocks of how
framework functions
• They allow for:
– Uniformity in the aviation system
– The export of licenses and certificates
• Annexes provide SARPs, including:
– Annex 1 — Personnel Licensing
– Annex 6 — Operation of Aircraft
• Including recognition of AOCs
– Annex 7 — Aircraft Nationality and Registration Marks
– Annex 8 — Airworthiness of Aircraft
