FAA InFO Outlines ICAO Standardized Certified True Copy Of Air
Operator Certificates
The ICAO has amended Annex 6 to require air operators to carry
onboard their aircraft a standardized certified true copy of their
AOCs when operating internationally.
To enable certificate holders to fulfill this ICAO requirement,
the FAA has made an ICAO standardized AOC available as template
A999 in WebOPSS. Much of the data contained in the AOC will be
preloaded from WebOPSS. Some of the data must be entered by the
principal operations inspector (POI) or the certificate holder.
This standardized ICAO AOC is in addition to the FAA Operating
Certificate or Air Carrier Certificate as described in Order
8900.1, Volume 2, Chapter 1, Section 4. Certificate holders must
carry this ICAO AOC on board their aircraft when operating
internationally in order to be in compliance with Annex 6.
The FAA recommends that certificate holder who fly, or intend
to fly internationally should request Template A999 in WebOPSS from
its POI, so that it may be issued before January 1, 2010. The
certificate holder should then work with its POI to properly fill
in the information on the template. The AOC will be digitally
signed when it is issued by the POI, fulfilling the ICAO
requirement for a certified true copy. The certificate holder may
print a copy for each aircraft operated internationally and place
it on board or, if the air carrier has the capability, carry it
electronically on board so that it is accessible to a foreign Civil
Aviation Authority during an inspection.
