Which term refers to the Standards and Recommended Practices established by ICAO?

• A. AIP
• B. PANS
• C. SARPS
• D. SUPP

Answer: (C)

SARPs are ICAO’s Standards and Recommended Practices. They’re the internationally agreed requirements that ICAO develops and publishes in Annexes to the Chicago Convention to ensure safety, regularity, and efficiency of international aviation. The Standards represent mandatory elements that states are expected to implement in national regulations for international operations, while the Recommended Practices provide guidance on best practices to help states achieve those standards. Other ICAO documents like the Aeronautical Information Publication, Procedures for Air Navigation Services, and Supplements serve different roles (informational publication, operational procedures, and clarifications), but they are not the term used for the combined standards and recommended practices themselves.
