Abstract The structures of the airport pavements are designed for defined operational time, assuming the predicted intensity and structure of the air traffic. The safety of air operations conducted by aircrafts on airport pavements depends mostly on their load capacity and design. Therefore, the load capacity inspections should be performed periodically, as the information about the current operational condition of the airport pavement is the basis for decisions on types of aircrafts allowed for traffic, as well as traffic intensity and dates of renovation or modernization works. Currently, the load capacity of airport pavements is assessed with the use of the ACN-PCN method, implemented by the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization). This article presents the method of determination and description of the PCN index

Abstract The structure of the airfield pavement is a set of layers, whose task is to take over and transfer loads from moving aircraft to a ground subsoil in a safety manner. Airfield pavements are designed for a specific period of operation, assuming the forecasted intensity and the structure of the air traffic. The safety of air operations executed by the aircraft on airfield pavements depends primarily on the condition of their structure’s load capacity. In order to assess the load capacity of airfield pavements, the method ACN-PCN, which was introduced by the International Civil Aviation Organization ICAO and according to which the load capacity of the airfield pavement is expressed with the PCN index, is applied.

Space Traffic Management (STM) is a new concept referring to space activities. The highest priority is the safety and security of outer space and all conducted operations. There is no definition of STM. There is an urgent need to regulate STM providing safety and security regulations at the international, regional, and national levels. Because there is no STM definition, the regulator might use the example of existing regulations of the International Civil Aviation Organization on Air Traffic Management (ATM). European EUSST is a good example of being a “precursor” of STM. However, many questions are still open regarding specific regulations needed to create an STM system, such as at which level they should be made: globally, regionally, or nationally.

This study investigates the variation in oral proficiency demonstrated by 14 Air Traffic Controllers across two types of testing tasks: work-related radio telephony-based tasks and non-specific English tasks on aviation topics. Their performance was compared statistically in terms of level ratings on the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) scale. The results demonstrate significant differences in the performance of the test-takers across task types, differences that were not fully predictable across subjects. The differences between general English proficiency and specific purpose proficiency were even greater than those we would expect for other LSP situations. We discuss the implications of these findings for fairly and safely assessing Aviation English using ICAO standards in a politicized context.

Each state should maintain their sovereignty as a whole, especially on their territory which includes air, land and sea. However, Indonesia has not been fully sovereign in its airspace. For instance, Air Traffic Control (ATC) is still controlling flight identification zones in Western Indonesia, such as Serawak, Tanjung Pinang, Malacca Peninsula, Natuna and Riau Islands. This was a threat because when the Indonesian Armed Forces aircraft on patrol and training had to report to the Singapore ATC, economically it also required Indonesia to pay fees to Singapore if it passed through the area.This research aims to shows the Indonesian interest in taking over the Flight Information Region (FIR) in a bid to safeguard the sovereignty of Indonesia. The method in this research is qualitative method that describes and explains research problems related to the topics discussed and triangulates methods and data. This research uses the concept of national interest, where the state has ability to protect and defend its national interests sovereignly by making various policies.The results of this research show that the interest of Indonesia is to fully maintain their sovereignty by making Law No. 1 of 2009 concerning about Aviation and Government Regulation No. 4 of 2018 concerning Security of the Republic of Indonesia Airspace, improving human resources and technology. On an international scale, efforts continue to be made through the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) so that the FIR managed by the Singapore ATC can be managed by Indonesia. Thus, any diplomatic and foreign aircraft security clearance processed through the Indonesian government.   Keywords: National Interest, Sovereignty, Air Sovereignty, Territory Control   Abstrak   Kedaulatan setiap negara harus dijaga secara keseluruhan, pada konteks ini adalah kedaulatan wilayah yang mencakup udara, darat dan laut. Namun Indonesia belum berdaulat dalam udara sepenuhnya. Bagian barat Indonesia, seperti Serawak, Tanjung Pinang, Semenanjung Malaka, Natuna dan Kepulauan Riau dalam mengelola zona identifikasi penerbangan dikuasai oleh Air Traffic Control (ATC) Singapura. Hal ini menjadi ancaman karena saat pesawat Tentara Nasional Indonesia dalam patroli maupun latihan melapor ke Singapura, secara ekonomi juga mengharuskan Indonesia untuk membayar biaya kepada Singapura jika melewati wilayah tersebut. Tujuan penelitian yaitu menunjukkan kepentingan Indonesia dalam mengambil alih Flight Information Region (FIR) sebagai upaya untuk menjaga kedaulatan Indonesia. Metode dalam penelitian ini yaitu metode kualitatif yang mendeskripsikan dan menjelaskan permasalahan penelitian terkait topik yang dibahas dan melakukan triangulasi metode dan data. Penelitian ini menggunakan konsep national interest yaitu kemampuan negara dalam melindungi maupun mempertahankan kepentingan nasionalnya secara berdaulat dengan mengeluarkan berbagai kebijakan. Hasil penelitian ini, kepentingan Indonesia adalah menjaga kedaulatan sepenuhnya dengan membuat Undang-Undang No. 1 Tahun 2009 tentang Penerbangan serta Peraturan Pemerintah No. 4 Tahun 2018 tentang Pengamanan Wilayah Udara Republik Indonesia, meningkatkan sumber daya manusia dan meningkatkan teknologi. Pada skala internasional terus dilakukan upaya melalui International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) agar FIR yang dikelola oleh ATC Singapura dapat dikelola oleh Indonesia sehingga izin diplomatik dan izin keamanan pesawat asing melalui pemerintah Indonesia.   Kata Kunci: Kepentingan Nasional, Kedaulatan, Kedaulatan Udara, Pengelolaan Wilayah

Europe is moving towards a more closely integrated air traffic management system through the European ATC Harmonization and Integration Programme (EATCHIP). This paper explains the need for such an approach and how it was brought about by capacity limitations in the current European air traffic system. It describes the key strategy of progressive harmonization and integration by the various States, examines the roles of the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC), the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), EUROCONTROL and the European Commission in the management of the Air Traffic Management (ATM) development programmes. It also reviews the longer-term planning of a future system with an enhanced relationship between the air and the ground, and addresses the navigation aspects of ATM systems.

The 39th session of the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) extended from January 27 to April 14, 1960, during which time the Council considered several questions on air navigation, air transport, and technical assistance, as well as administrative and legal matters. In the field of air navigation, the two subjects that aroused the most interest were Amendment 35 to Annex 10 (Aeronautical Telecommunications), proposing new specifications for distance-measuring equipment, and the Secretariat's reports on investigations of major deficiencies in air navigation facilities and services on the main international air routes. After a debate in which the United States, the Netherlands, and the Federal Republic of Germany strongly supported the aforementioned amendment, with Australia, Canada, the Union of South Africa, and the United Kingdom opposing it, the following were adopted, to be approved or rejected by member states by September 1, 1960: 1) the new Standard making VOR (omnidirectional radio range) the standard aid for air traffic control and other operational purposes en route as well as in terminal areas; 2) the new Standard requiring the installation of DME (distancemeasuring equipment) as a complement to VOR where, for operational or air traffic control reasons, there was need for more precise navigation service than that provided by VOR; and 3) amendments relating to the “protection date” for VOR and DME. To determine whether joint financing might be a possible remedy for specific deficiencies in air navigation facilities and services, the Council established a working body to study the Secretariat's reports and present its findings to the June session of the Council.

The fourteenth session of the Council, convened on September 28, was adjourned on December 14, 1951. The Council adopted twenty amendments to Annex 8 (Airworthiness of Aircraft), arising out of the work of the Airworthiness Division at its fourth session. Action was also taken on recommendations 1 to 23 of the Search and Rescue Division, third session, the details of which were communicated to member states as a forward to the division's report. The Council noted with satisfaction the agreements reached at the special meeting on coordination of air traffic in western Europe4 held in Paris in October 1951, directed that the report of the meeting be published as an ICAO document, and urged all affected states to give high priority to the coordination of their national requirements for the use of air space in western Europe. It was hoped that the progress made would be consolidated at the European-Mediterranean Regional Air Navigation Meeting to convene in Paris on February 26, 1952. Further, the Council: approved the program recommended by the Air Navigation Commission for keeping regional plans up to date and for isolating the more critical deficiencies in air navigation facilities and services; decided to recommend to the Assembly the adoption, with minor amendments, of the draft revised constitution of the Legal Committee prepared by that committee at its seventh session;0 approved the convening of the subcommittee established to continue work on the revision of the 1929 Warsaw Convention.
