It is a changing environment we live in now

ICAO to give more attention to GA

Urge Governments to protect , develop and ensure growth of GA

Urge Governments not to overregulate

IAOPA 2012 11

There is a need for a review of all the Annexes to the Convention

Address issues that could impact on GA

Accept that there are different levels of GA activities

Accept that there is a difference in acceptable risks associated with GA operations

IAOPA 2012 12

Supportive role by ICAO is called for in urging Governments to encourage development of GA

GA is the source of interest in aviation

We can call

“”Mister ICAO support in breaking down the barriers to growth of GA.”
