 Foreword

This section provides a review of ICAO contracting

State responsibilities which is not unique to EDTO,
but applies equally to EDTO as with all areas of the
Standards related to establishing State regulations.

05/11/2019 ICAO EDTO Workshop – Module 8: Implementing EDTO Regulations 9

 Contracting State Responsibilities
ICAO Doc 7300, Article 37
Adoption of international standards and procedures

Each contracting State undertakes to collaborate in securing the highest

practicable degree of uniformity in regulations, standards, procedures
and organization… in all matters in which such uniformity will facilitate Doc 7300
Chicago Convention
and improve air navigation.

To this end ICAO shall adopt and amend from time to time, as may be
necessary, international standards and recommended practices and
procedures…

05/11/2019 ICAO EDTO Workshop – Module 8: Implementing EDTO Regulations 10

 Contracting State Responsibilities
ICAO Doc 7300, Article 38
Departures from international standards and procedures

Any State which finds it impractical to comply in all respects with any
such international standard or procedure, or to bring its own regulations
or practices into full accord… shall give immediate notification to ICAO Doc 7300
of the differences between its own practice and that established by the
international standard...

ICAO Doc 10055, ‘Manual on Notification and Publication of Differences’

provides additional guidance for contracting States.

3.3 Specific Operating Regulations

3.3.1 General requirements

The State laws and regulations should be in conformity with the

Doc 9734, Part A
Annexes to the Convention. The Annex provisions are designed to
provide the minimum requirements to be met by all Contracting States,
regardless of the size and complexity of their civil aviation activity …

3.3 Specific Operating Regulations

3.3.2 Adapting or adopting regulations from other States

To meet their requirements for regulations, Contracting States always

have the option of adopting another Contracting State’s regulations… Doc 9734, Part A

(however) … A better alternative would be to adapt the regulations to

meet the aviation environment while still maintaining harmony with other
States.

3.3 Specific Operating Regulations

3.3.3 Differences between national regulations and ICAO Standards

Article 38 of the Convention specifies that if a State finds it impracticable

Doc 9734, Part A
to comply in all respects with any international Standards… or if it
deems it necessary to adopt regulations or practices differing from those
established by ICAO, it shall give immediate notification…

It should be noted, however, that the filing of differences with respect to

international Standards does not mean that a State can continue to do
business as usual…

05/11/2019 ICAO EDTO Workshop – Module 8: Implementing EDTO Regulations 21

 Establishing State Regulations (CE-2)
General Considerations
• State rulemaking process (as per CE-1, Primary Aviation Legislation)
− Industry involvement (?), Public notification/comment (?)

• ICAO SARPS gap assessment

− Compliance checklist (CC) and filing of differences (EFOD)

• Adopting/adapting other State regulations

• Supporting guidance materials

− Technical guidance for inspectorate staff (CE-5)
− Compliance guidance for air operators and service providers

• Training (CE-4) and deployment (CE-6, CE-7, CE-8)

05/11/2019 ICAO EDTO Workshop – Module 8: Implementing EDTO Regulations 22

 Establishing EDTO Regulations
State Considerations
• The ICAO EDTO provisions can not simply be ‘copied
and pasted’ into State regulations
− Critical time values need to be established (EDTO Threshold Time,
Maximum Diversion Time)
− Applicability to State aviation environment should be evaluated
− Differences, where appropriate, should be indentified

• The Annex 6 Standards provide a basic framework but do not cover

detailed implementation in all areas (e.g. Approval Process)
− States should also refer to available ICAO guidance materials (e.g. Doc 10085)
− Other State implementations (e.g. FAA, EASA) may be consulted
− Not all of the necessary provisions are EDTO specific (e.g. RFFS)

05/11/2019 ICAO EDTO Workshop – Module 8: Implementing EDTO Regulations 23

 EDTO Threshold Time
State Considerations
• EDTO threshold time values are NOT defined by ICAO and must
be established by each Contracting State
− Threshold times should be established for two engine aeroplanes and
for aeroplanes with more than two engines
− Generally not intended to be area, operator or aeroplane type specific
− ICAO SARPS allow flexibility to accommodate variations for unique situations

• Considerations for alignment with other State Implementations

− Many States have established a 60 minute threshold for two engine aeroplanes
− EDTO Type Design Approvals for twins are based on operations beyond 60 minutes
− A higher threshold time (e.g. 120, 180 minutes..) is typically appropriate for aeroplanes
with more than two engines (Annex 6, Section 4.7.1 requirements still applicable)

EDTOM See Sections 1.1 and 3.1 for additional guidance on establishing EDTO Threshold Times
05/11/2019 ICAO EDTO Workshop – Module 8: Implementing EDTO Regulations 24
 Maximum Diversion Time (MDT)
State Considerations
• EDTO maximum diversion time values are NOT defined by ICAO
and must be established by each Contracting State
− State regulations should provide for EDTO maximum diversion time
capabilities to support existing and future operational needs
− EDTO up to 180 Minutes (specific MDT levels, regional considerations,
flight by flight exceptions…?)
− EDTO beyond 180 Minutes (additional airworthiness and operational considerations)

• Criteria for operational approval should be established for each MDT level
− Aeroplane capability / time limited systems
− EDTO program compliance elements (flight operations, maintenance)
− EDTO approval methodology (accelerated, service experience)

EDTOM See Section 3.4 for additional guidance on establishing EDTO Maximum Diversion Times
