FOREWORD

Historical background

Annex 7 contains Standards adopted by the International CivilAviation Organization as the minimum Standards for thedisplay of marks to indicate appropriate nationality andregistration which have been determined to comply withArticle 20 of the Convention. Standards for AircraftNationality and Registration Marks were first adopted by theCouncil on 8 February 1949 pursuant to the provisions ofArticle 37 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation(Chicago 1944) and designated as Annex 7 to the Convention.They became effective on 1 July 1949. The Standards werebased on recommendations of the first and second sessions ofthe Airworthiness Division held respectively in March 1946and February 1947.

Table A shows the origin of subsequent amendmentstogether with a list of the principal subjects involved and thedates on which the Annex and the amendments were adoptedby the Council, when they became effective and when theybecame applicable.

Action by Contracting States

Notification of differences. The attention of Contracting Statesis drawn to the obligation imposed by Article 38 of theConvention by which Contracting States are required to notifythe Organization of any differences between their nationalregulations and practices and the International Standardscontained in this Annex and any amendments thereto. Further,Contracting States are invited to keep the Organizationcurrently informed of any differences which may subsequentlyoccur, or of the withdrawal of any differences previouslynotified. A specific request for notification of differences willbe sent to Contracting States immediately after the adoption ofeach amendment to this Annex.

The attention of States is also drawn to the provisions ofAnnex 15 related to the publication of differences betweentheir national regulations and practices and the related ICAOStandards and Recommended Practices through the Aero-nautical Information Service, in addition to the obligation ofStates under Article 38 of the Convention.

Promulgation of information. The establishment andwithdrawal of and changes to facilities, services and pro-cedures affecting aircraft operations provided in accordancewith the Standards specified in this Annex should be notifiedand take effect in accordance with the provisions of Annex 15.

Status of Annex components

An Annex is made up of the following component parts, not allof which, however, are necessarily found in every Annex; theyhave the status indicated:

1.— Material comprising the Annex proper:

a) Standards and Recommended Practices adopted bythe Council under the provisions of the Convention.They are defined as follows:

Standard: Any specification for physical character-istics, configuration, matériel, performance, per-sonnel or procedure, the uniform application ofwhich is recognized as necessary for the safety orregularity of international air navigation and to whichContracting States will conform in accordance withthe Convention; in the event of impossibility ofcompliance, notification to the Council is com-pulsory under Article 38.

Recommended Practice: Any specification forphysical characteristics, configuration, matériel,performance, personnel or procedure, the uniformapplication of which is recognized as desirable in theinterest of safety, regularity or efficiency of inter-national air navigation, and to which ContractingStates will endeavour to conform in accordance withthe Convention.

b) Appendices comprising material grouped separatelyfor convenience but forming part of the Standardsand Recommended Practices adopted by the Council.

c) Definitions of terms used in the Standards andRecommended Practices which are not self-explanatory in that they do not have accepteddictionary meanings. A definition does not haveindependent status but is an essential part of eachStandard and Recommended Practice in which theterm is used, since a change in the meaning of theterm would affect the specification.

d) Tables and Figures which add to or illustrate aStandard or Recommended Practice and which arereferred to therein, form part of the associatedStandard or Recommended Practice and have thesame status.

2.— Material approved by the Council for publication inassociation with the Standards and Recommended Practices:

a) Forewords comprising historical and explanatorymaterial based on the action of the Council andincluding an explanation of the obligations of Stateswith regard to the application of the Standards andRecommended Practices ensuing from the Con-vention and the Resolution of Adoption.

b) Introductions comprising explanatory material intro-duced at the beginning of parts, chapters or sectionsof the Annex to assist in the understanding of theapplication of the text.

c) Notes included in the text, where appropriate, to givefactual information or references bearing on theStandards or Recommended Practices in question,but not constituting part of the Standards or Rec-ommended Practices.

d) Attachments comprising material supplementary tothe Standards and Recommended Practices, orincluded as a guide to their application.

Selection of language

This Annex has been adopted in six languages — English,Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish. Each Con-tracting State is requested to select one of those texts for thepurpose of national implementation and for other effectsprovided for in the Convention, either through direct use orthrough translation into its own national language, and tonotify the Organization accordingly.

Editorial practices

The following practice has been adhered to in order to indicateat a glance the status of each statement: Standards have beenprinted in light face roman; Notes have been printed in lightface italics, the status being indicated by the prefix Note. Thereare no Recommended Practices in Annex 7.

Any reference to a portion of this document which isidentified by a number and/or title includes all subdivisions ofthat portion.

Aircraft. Any machine that can derive support in theatmosphere from the reactions of the air other than thereactions of the air against the earth’s surface. (See Table 1,Classification of aircraft.)

Airship. A power-driven lighter-than-air aircraft.

Balloon. A non-power-driven lighter-than-air aircraft.

So far as is possible, themarks shall be located equidistant from the leading and trailingedges of the wings. The tops of the letters and numbers shallbe toward the leading edge of the wing.

3.3.2 Fuselage (or equivalent structure) and vertical tailsurfaces. On heavier-than-air aircraft, the marks shall appeareither on each side of the fuselage (or equivalent structure)between the wings and the tail surface or on the upper halvesof the vertical tail surfaces. When located on a single verticaltail surface, they shall appear on both sides. When located onmultivertical tail surfaces, they shall appear on the outboardsides of the outer surfaces.

3.3.3 Special cases. If a heavier-than-air aircraft does notpossess parts corresponding to those mentioned in 3.3.1 and3.3.2, the marks shall appear in a manner such that the aircraftcan be identified readily.
