How Many Nations Follow the FAA?

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!



I recently saw an article that described changes to the FARs for SIC pilots; required that they have a SIC type rating
or similar to fly in ICAO countries, Needed to be done ASAP, or the flight crews were going to be cited.

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.

No, but Transport Canada will consult w/ the FAA, and FAA ADs & similar
seem to be applied by TC as well.

There was a short article in the recent TC "Air Safety Letter" about
Canadian pilots busting the Washington, DC TFR - those lucky folks have
not one, but TWO regulatory agencies on their case for those busts...

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.

That makes sense, for a small country. Belize's Air Regs probably say
something like, "Follow the FAA Regs, except in certain cases as laid out
below..." or similar.

'seems like it would make even more sense to follow ICAO.

The ICAO publishes general rules but these are not directly applicable laws.

But at least they could follow the laws of a nation which follows ICAO.

The ICAO requirements for a Comercial are what the FAA now uses.
Explain to me the logic of requiring the comercial to be done in a
complex aircraft when most of GA training is done in fixed gear. All
any one needed was an endorsement for complex... But now the test must
be in a complex.

Then, explain why you need 3 landings on the 250NM straight, 300NM
total. By the time you are working on a comercial you should know how
to land, right? ICAO says you have to have the 3 landings and this must
be SOLO.

Wanna ask the FAA why? Have fun, because they will quote you ICAO.
So yes, the ICAO even specifies training.

Later.
