ICAO standards
Global flight rules
ICAO standards are technical specifications and recommended practices established by the International Civil Aviation Organization, a United Nations agency that governs international air travel.
These standards ensure consistency across countries in areas like aircraft markings, runway specifications, pilot licensing, and communication protocols.
The ICAO phonetic alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie) is among the most widely recognized: Air traffic controllers worldwide use ICAO standards.
