22、ies and Gentlemen, On behalf of the Air Navigation Commission, it is a pleasure to welcome you all to Montreal, to ICAO and to the thirteenth meeting of the Visual Aids Panel. There have been a number of changes in the membership of the panel since your last meeting and to these new members I extend
23、 a special welcome. The panel, I am sure, will look forward to your contributions. Since your last meeting in September/October 1991 , the Air Navigation Commission has progressed a number of issues in your area. Allow me to mention some of the more important ones. On 13 March 1995, the ICAO Council
24、 adopted Amendment 1 to Annex 14, Volumes I and II. This amendment, which became applicable on 9 November 1995, included several new and revised specifications related to visual aids based on material developed by the VAP/12 Meeting. COPYRIGHT International Civil Aviation OrganizationLicensed by Inf
25、ormation Handling Servicesii - Organization of the Meeting ii-7 Since technical or financial difficulties in implementing some of the new specifications by 9 November 1995 were cited, the Commission agreed to allow additional time to implement the new provisions related to aiming point marking, touc
26、hdown zone marking and information signs. However, as regards mandatory instruction signs, the Commission considered that, as they were safety-related, existing signs not meeting the new specifications should be replaced by 9 November 1995. The Commission re-examined the need to restrict, in runway
27、visual range conditions less than a value of 550 m, the number of aircraft on the manoeuvring area to one, at any time, where stop bars were not provided and agreed to recommend that such restriction should apply only where appropriate aids and procedures were not available to assist in preventing i
28、nadvertent incursions of aircraft and vehicles onto the runway. With respect to emergency vehicles, the Commission endorsed the suggestion of the panel that the signal of obstacle lights displayed on them should be changed, from flashing-red to flashing-blue, to enable emergency vehicles to be disti
29、nguished from aircraft, which are equipped with flashing-red anti-collision lights. On the other hand, the Commission referred back to the panel the bulk of the amendment proposals related to obstacle lighting. It was not considered advisable to extend the use of flashing-white obstacle lights until
30、 the environmental concerns associated with their use at night had been further studied. The Commission agreed to the proposal for amendment of Annex 14, Volume I developed by the panel with the objective of extending the applicability of lighting aids currently specified for precision approach runw
31、ays to basic MLS operations. In this context, I would like to draw your attention to one issue which should be of particular interest to the panel. The Commission requested the Secretariat to harmonize the definitions of precision approach runways with the amendments to Annex 6, Parts I and II, bein
32、g developed to incorporate the new classification of instrunient approach and landing operations. The proposed revised definitions developed by the Secretariat were transmitted to States and interested international organizations for comment and subsequently incorporated in the Second Edition of Ann
33、ex 14, Volume I. You may recall that, while recommending the inclusion of specifications on PAPI, the AGA Divisional Meeting in 1981 had agreed that the use of VASIS should be terminated on 1 January 1995. To this end, the ANC reviewed the results of a world-wide survey undertaken by the Secretariat
34、 on the status of different types of visual approach slope indicator systems in use. A proposed amendment developed with the view to deleting the specifications on VASIS was, after consultation with States and international organizations, incorporated in the Second Edition of Annex 14, Volume I. You
35、 will be aware that in 1992 the Commission agreed, in principle, to disband the panel after the VAP/i3 Meeting and directed the panel to complete the work programme at this meeting. While recognizing that additional items have been added to the work programme since then, the Commission appreciates t
36、he efforts you have made during the past years to meet that objective. The Commission has been advised that much preparatory work has been done, either through working groups or by correspondence, on the work programme items to be discussed at the meeting. COPYRIGHT International Civil Aviation Orga
37、nizationLicensed by Information Handling Servicesii-8 ii - Organization of the Meeting As always, the current work programme of the panel covers a broad range of issues. Lately, the tasks related to advanced surface movement guidance and control systems (A-SMGCS) have assumed particular importance i
38、n view of the capacity constraints at several airports and the inherent potential of such systems to improve the airport capacity. In this context, you will be pleased to know that, at the next meeting of the All Weather Operations Panel (AWOP) in July this year, Draft Operational Requirements for A
39、dvanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control Systems will be presented for review, and it is envisaged that the AWOP will recommend adoption of these operational requirements for worldwide application. The Commission will, therefore, with great interest review the results of your work, so far, in t
40、his area. The results of the panels study of the possibility of reducing the patterns of lighting currently specified for precision approach runways categories II and III will also be of particular interest. It is recognized that the panel may encounter some reluctance to propose changes to lighting
41、 systems that are generally perceived as being operationally satisfactory. Let me, however, assure you that it is not in the interest of the aviation industry to retain standards that could, without degrading safety, be replaced by less demanding ones. I mentioned earlier that the Commission had ref
42、erred back to the panel the task of updating the Annex 14, Volume I specifications related to obstacle lighting with the view to overcoming the environmental problems associated with the use of flashing lights at night, particularly the flashing- white lights. Any efforts by this panel of experts to
43、 make it possible to resolve this problem at this meeting, taking into account current State practices, will be much appreciated. I wish to remind you that, in accordance with the Directives for Panels of the Air Navigation Commission (Doc 7984), you, as panel members, participate in the meeting in
44、a personal expert capacity representing your own professional views, which may not necessarily be the same as those of your nominating administrations or organizations. Thus, your contributions do not in any way commit your State or organization. Before closing the meeting, you may wish to make prop
45、osals in a structured approach for tasks related to visual aids on which further work would need to be undertaken in the immediate future, such as development of new visual aids in response to A-SMGCS and to recommend alternative courses for accomplishing these future tasks. I can assure you that th
46、e Air Navigation Commission will review these proposals with due consideration. A debriefing session with the Air Navigation Commission will be scheduled at the end of the meeting. In that session, we would like the chairman of this meeting to highlight the work that has been accomplished during the
47、 meeting, any major difficulties you may have identified to progress your work as well as the proposed future work. You are all invited to participate in the debriefing. You have a considerable amount of work to accomplish during the next ten days. The Commission is confident that you will complete
48、all your agenda items and achieve the goals established for this meeting. Should you require any advice or assistance in your work, I trust that your chairman will not hesitate to call upon me, any member of the Commission, the Director of the Air Navigation Bureau or any other member of the Secreta
49、riat.
