The goal of the course is to enable participants to support the implementation of the ICAO Annex 14, Volume 1 Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) in their aerodromes to achieve compliance. The course will utilize case studies for participants to practice implementation activities of Annex 14. This course will make use of relevant ICAO documentation such as Doc 9981: PANS-Aerodromes and will prepare the audience for the ACI-ICAO Aerodrome Certification course.
