Contains guidance on the
design of taxiways, including ‑fillets, aprons and holding bays. Information
on procedures to segregate aircraft and ground vehicular traffic is also
provided.
¤Part 3 ‑ Pavements
Provides information on the
evaluation and reporting of pavement strength and several design techniques
used in different countries. Describes methods for constructing pavement
surfaces to provide good braking action.
¤Part 4 ‑ Visual Aids
Contains information on the
design of airport lights and their maintenance. Detailed material is included
on visual approach slope indicator systems, apron floodlighting and taxiing
guidance and control systems.
¤Part 5 ‑ Electrical Systems
Provides guidance on the
design and installation of electrical systems for aerodrome lighting and radio
navigation aids.
Airport Planning Manual (Doe 9184)
¤Part
1 ‑ Master Planning
¤Part
2 ‑ Land Use and Environmental Control
Guidance is provided on
environmental considerations to be taken into account at airports and for land
use planning in the vicinity of airports. Methods for land use control are
described and types of land use that are compatible and incompatible with
airports are identified.
¤Part 3 ‑ Guidelines for Consultant
Construction Services
Provides a general overview
on contracting for planning or construction services. Serves for both persons
who are directly involved in the preparation and administration of a contract
as well as supervisors of such persons.
Airport Services Manual (Doc 9137)
¤Part
1 ‑ Rescue and Fire Fighting
Virtually all aspects of
rescue and fire fighting at airports are covered including equipment
requirements, operational and emergency procedures, and personnel training.
¤Part 2 ‑ Pavement Surface Conditions
Describes methods for
clearing contaminants and debris from the movement area, snow removal
techniques and how to measure and report runway braking action on wet and snow
or ice‑covered surfaces.
¤Part
3 ‑ Bird Control and Reduction
Provides a general review
of the bird hazard problem at airports giving information on the type of birds,
the magnitude of their hazard to aircraft and why birds are at the airport.
Means for modifying the airport environment to make it less attractive to birds
are reviewed and techniques outlined for driving off birds that do come to the
airport. Information is also given on the use of radar to detect birds.
¤Part
5 ‑ Removal of Disabled Aircraft
Organizational procedures
to remove an aircraft disabled on the airport are reviewed and a list of
necessary equipment provided.
¤Part
6 ‑ Control of Obstacles
Provides information on the
use of inner and outer horizontal surfaces and the application of the shielding
principle. A practice for treating temporary hazards on the movement area is
presented and techniques for conducting obstacle surveys are included.
¤Part
7 ‑ Airport Emergency Planning
Provides information related
principally to matters concerning preplanning for airport emergencies, as well
as co‑ordination between the different airport agencies (or services) and
those agencies in the surrounding community that could be of assistance in
responding to the emergency.
¤Part
8 ‑ Airport Operational Services
Describes all operational
services provided by the airport in detail. References to specific ECAA
documents are given if another manual covers the subject in greater detail such
as in the case of rescue and fire fighting.
¤Part
9 ‑ Airport Maintenance Practices
Provides guidance material
required for maintenance practices at an airport to maintain the safety,
efficiency and regularity of aircraft operations.
Manual of Surface Movement
Guidance and Control Systems (SMGCS) (Doc 9476)
Provides information on the
provision of guidance to, and control in question of, all aircraft, ground
vehicles and personnel on the movement area of an aerodrome.
Security Manual for
Safeguarding Civil Aviation Against Acts of Unlawful Interference (Doc
8973 (Restricted))
(Doc 7100)
Manual on Air Traffic Forecasting (Doc 8991)
Manual on the ECAA Statistical Programme (Doc
9060)
Statements by the Council
to Contracting States on Charges for Airports and Route Air Navigation
Facilities (Doc 9082)
Selection of ECAA Facilitation B‑Type Recommendations
(Circular 152)
The Recommendations adopted
at the various Sessions of the Facilitation Division fall into two categories:
those concerning amendments to ECAR 9 (Facilitation) and the other type which
does not affect the amendment of ECAR 9. The former type of Recommendations has
been designated, in the Reports of the last four Sessions, as “A” type
Recommendations, while the latter have come to be referred to as "B"
type Recommendations. This publication is concerned only with a selection of
“B” type Recommendations.
International Signs to
Provide Guidance to Persons at Airports (Doc 9430)
The question of developing
an international sign language, without the use of words as far as possible, to
facilitate travellers has been considered by several bodies in recent years. In response to a growing need
for such signing a set of signs was approved by the Air Transport Committee and
the Council and are contained in Section 1 of this document. Section 11 of the
document contains certain information concerning the use of the signs, their
location, and colours to be used.
Miscellaneous Publications
ECAA Lexicon (Doc 9294)
Volume 1: Vocabulary
Volume 1 of the Lexicon
brings together a number of terms, in English, French, Russian and Spanish,
which are relevant to the work of ECAA. In addition to strictly aeronautical
terminology related to aircraft and their operation, the vocabulary presented
therein extends to various allied fields to which an important part of ECAA's
work is devoted, particularly meteorology and telecommunications.
The Appendices in Volume 1
contain lists of abbreviations and data on various scientific and technical
subjects connected with aviation.
Volume 11 contains a list
of definitions, most of which are from the Convention on International Civil
Aviation and the ECARes thereto, while others are from the Procedures for Air
Navigation Services.
