SARPs deal with technical and operational aspects of international civil aviation, such as safety, personnel licensing, aircraft operations, aerodromes, air traffic services, accident investigation and environment.Īs a founding member of ICAO, Brazil has actively participated in the discussions and drafting of normative and technical recommendations issued by the Organization. It is up to ICAO to develop standards and best practices, known as SARPs (Standard and Recommended Practices), which constitute guidelines for civil aviation authorities around the world. With its headquarters in Montreal, ICAO is the main governmental organization of civil aviation, composed by 191 States ( see here the list of countries) and representatives from industry and aviation professionals. ICAO is the specialized UN agency responsible for promoting the safe and orderly development of world civil aviation, through the establishment of standards and rules related to safety, efficiency and flight regularity as well as to environmental protection.
