Air Travel is the Safest and Fastest Means of Transportation

The Air Transport industry plays a major role in

world economic activity.

The process of getting an Aircraft Safely and

Efficiently to its destination depends on three
functions of Air Navigation:
Communication,
Visual Aids(Airfield Ground Lighting) and
Surveillance.

TERMINOLOGY
AERODROME VS AIRPORT
AERONAUTICAL VS AIRFIELD

AERODROME A defined area on land (including any buildings,

installations and equipment) intended to be used either wholly or in part
for the arrival, departure and surface movement of aircraft.

AERONAUTICAL GROUND LIGHTING Any light specially provided

as an aid to air navigation, other than a light displayed on an aircraft.
System is the generic term used to describe the various lighting system
that are provided on an aerodrome for the guidance of pilots operating
aircraft both at night and in low visibility condition.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS/REGULATIONS
ICAO - International Civil Aviation Organization

An agency of the United Nations, codifies the principles and techniques

of international air navigation and fosters the planning and development
of international air transport to ensure safe and orderly growth. Its
headquarters are located in the Quartier International of Montreal,
Canada.
The ICAO Council adopts standards and recommended practices
concerning air navigation, prevention of unlawful interference, and
facilitation of border-crossing procedures for international civil aviation.
In addition, the ICAO defines the protocols for air accident investigation
followed by transport safety authorities in countries signatory to the
Convention on International Civil Aviation, commonly known as the
Chicago Convention.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS/REGULATIONS
ICAO - International Civil Aviation Organization

The Standard and Recommended Practices for Aerodrome 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 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 3rd session in Sept. 1947 and at its 4th session in Nov
1949.

 FAA http://www.faa.gov/

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the element of the U.S.

government with primary responsibility for the safety of civil aviation. The
FAA was originally designated the Federal Aviation Agency when
established by the Federal Aviation Act of 1958.The present name was
adopted in 1967 when the FAA became a component of the Department of
Transportation. The FAAs major functions include:
regulating civil aviation to promote safety and fulfill the requirements of national
defense
encouraging and developing civil aeronautics, including new aviation
technology
developing and operating a common system of air traffic control and navigation
for both civil and military aircraft
research and development with respect to the National Airspace System and
civil aeronautics
developing and implementing programs to control aircraft noise and other
environmental effects of civil aviation
regulating U.S. commercial space transportation

 FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION

One main focus of the FAA is the publishing of

the so called Advisory Circulars

These Circulars describe standards for design, installation,

maintenance, test procedures, lists of suppliers
