Regulatory Requirements

OTAR Part Certification of Aerodromes, Subpart 139.B.31 (e) (6) (i) specifies that for an aerodrome to be certified, appropriate arrangements must be in place for the provisions of the Aeronautical Information Service.

OTAR 139 (Certification of Aerodromes)

There are no OTARs for Annex 15 (AIS), so regulatory audits of the service provider will ascertain conformance with the provisions of Annex 15 itself in relation to the services set out by the Governor.

Checklist for ICAO Annex 15 (Aeronautical Information Service)

To ensure published data is not intentionally compromised, vigilance must be exercised. Mechanisms for this include:

• The airport has the authority for the creation of an airport regulation to assess the acceptability and marking requirements pertaining to the errection of new structures in the vicinity of their facility; and
• The Civil Aviation Authority has the authority over the use of lasers, lights and fireworks to prevent risks to aircraft operating in the area. Further information can be found in the Notification of Outdoor Laser, Search Light or Fireworks Operations.
