International Aviation Safety Standards

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN), established in 1944 for the purpose of promoting greater safety and uniformity of safety standards among airlines  throughout the world.

Standards are initiated either by the  ICAO or any member state beginning with a proposal or request. The matter is reviewed by those qualified to make judgments in the operational area the request addresses, who  devise a draft of a new standard. New standards are implemented after gaining consensus among the 190 member states; all member states agree to operate according to the requirements  of the new standard. Introduction A Qantas flight originating in Sydney and landing in Melbourne will follow the same procedures and guidelines as  if it were landing in Singapore, Paris or New York. Takeoff procedures are the same from those cities as well, even though they are half a world away from  Qantas own Australia. Further, airport operations are similar in terms of security and aircraft movement. These are all results of adherence to standards developed through and overseen by  the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). International Oversight The ICAO is a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN), established in 1944 for  the purpose of promoting greater safety and uniformity of safety standards among airlines throughout the world.
