Applicability

The applicability of the Standards is indicated in 1.1, 2.1, 3.1 and 4.1 of Part II, in 1.1 of Parts IIIA and IVA, and in 1.1 of Parts IIIB, IVB, V, VI and VII. The dates were established so as to take account of the provisions of Article 41 of the Convention. However, the Council has recommended that, as far as practicable, earlier dates be applied.

Related Standards of Annex 6, Part I. Chapter 5 of Annex 6, Part I, dealing with aeroplane performance operating limitations contains Standards that are complementary to the airworthiness Standards of Annex 8. Both state broad objectives. The Standards of Annex 6, Part I, Chapter 5, are supplemented by guidance material in the form of green page attachments which indicate by examples the level of performance intended by the Standards.

The Council has urged Contracting States not to impose on visiting aeroplanes operational requirements other than those established by the State of Registry, provided those requirements are not lower than the Standards of Chapter 5 of Annex 6, Part I, as amended by Amendment 2, 2.2 of Part IIIA and 2.2 of Parts IIIB, IVB and V of this edition of Annex 8.
