The terms 'Standard' and 'Recommended Practice' in aviation are used by International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) with specific definitions:
Standard
Any specification for physical characteristics, configuration, material, performance, personnel or procedure, the uniform application of which is recognised as necessary for the safety or regularity of international air navigation and to which Contracting States will conform in accordance with the Convention; in the event of impossibility of compliance, notification to the Council is compulsory under Article 38 of the Convention.
Recommended Practice
- Standard words and phrases and that all involved ensure that they maintain the highest professional standards when using RTF. This is especially important when operating within busy sectors with congested frequencies where any time wasted with verbosity and non-standard, ambiguous phrases could lead to flight safety incidents.
- IATA standards, manuals and guidelines cover a variety of aviation topics and include commercial and free publications in digital and print formats.
