ICAO Annexes

Section 01: Organizations & Authorities

Definition

The 19 technical annexes to the Chicago Convention that contain all ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs), organized by subject area. Each Annex covers a specific domain of civil aviation and is periodically amended through the ICAO amendment process. Key annexes for certification professionals include Annex 8 (Airworthiness of Aircraft), Annex 6 (Operation of Aircraft), and Annex 19 (Safety Management).

Where This Shows Up

While all 19 Annexes are relevant to aviation, certain ones are particularly central to aircraft certification and airworthiness work.
