19. Why must follow ICAO? • Air transportation crosses many national territories and air spaces around the globe. If each country have different standards and procedures, this will burden the operators of aircraft. Eventually it affect the safety of aircraft and passengers. • However, when all nations have common standards, operators will have less procedures to conduct and thus lessen the burden. Safety of aircraft and passengers can thus be assured.

20. What do Standards and Recommended Practices (SARP) mean ? • The standards are specification for physical characteristics, configuration, material, performance, personnel or procedure that states of ICAO members will conform in order to achieve safe and regular air navigation. • Whereas, the Recommended Practices are any specification for physical charateristics, configuration, material, performance, personnel or procedure where the aplication is recognised as desireable in the interest of safety of air navigation.
