ICAO 9981:2020/AMD 4:2020 PDF Download

The ICAO 9981:2020/AMD 4:2020 standard is a set of operational procedures meant to ensure the safety of aerodrome operations. It complements the Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) outlined in Annex 14, Volume I of the ICAO documentation.

The PANS-Aerodromes provide more detailed procedures compared to the SARPs, guiding aerodrome operators on how to maintain operational safety. These procedures cover various aspects of aerodrome operations, such as the initial certification of the aerodrome, ongoing safety oversight measures, and compatibility studies. They are designed to ensure that aerodrome operators and regulators can adhere to the SARPs outlined in Annex 14, Volume I, even in cases where full compliance may not be immediately achievable.
