How Many Nations Follow the FAA?
In the US we have a set of aviation regulations all made up by the FAA.
In Canada they have a different set of rules all made up by Transport Canada. They don't blindly follow the American FAA system. When in Belize I walked through the capital to the general aviation airport and talked to a pilot. It turns out that Belize uses the FAA regulations. Pilots in Belize actually refer to "Part 91" which is amazing since that's a rule made by the American government and the Belize government just tells they "Do everything you would have to if you were in America". I also notice that the South African set of rules for general aviation is called "part 91". So, how many nations don't make their own aviation rule but instead simply require the locals to follow the American FAA rules? And as a follow-up, do any non-European nations require one to follow the European rules? |

Australia has started rewriting its' rules to 'harmonize' them with the FAA and JAA systems. |

The FAA is rewriting some regs to fall in line with the JAA, believe it or not. Way back when, the European regs used to follow the FAA regs pretty closely, but now they are starting to set the standards and impose them on US operators... |

Australia has started rewriting its' rules to 'harmonize' them with the FAA and JAA systems. Australia just "rolled back" quite a few of the changes, mainly due to opposition from air traffic control unions, who might lose some jobs. They were trotting out safety, that with much emptier skies, which do not have that much radar coverage that a US style system would not work. Also some airline pilots did not like the changes as they might have to look out the window for VFR planes. There was actually talk (from airline pilots) of establishing "Professional Airspace." where those pesky general aviation people would not be able to fly. For more infomation about this debate do a google search on google.com.au and select the search option of Australia only, and search for New Airspace system. James. |

How does the ICAO fit into all of this?
I was under the impression that they were a multi-national organization that dealt with "coordinating" aviation activities among nations. From what I understand, the ICAO puts forth a set of rules from which individual nations could extract subsets, or create supersets of, with the essential idea being to create a "core" set of rules that all signatory nations would abide by. Among many things I don't know is what the scope and depth of these rules is. I know they cover stuff like runway designs and things like that, but do they also cover such things as required aircraft equipment, pilot training, and similar issues. And do they go down to the "Section 1.2.3.4.5" level? Also, do they apply only to commercial aviation, or is all GA covered? If anyone has any additional info, TIA!

It will be pretty funny when they each look like the other's regulations USED to be and are still different from each other. :-) Matt |
