A revised edition was issued on 6 February 1953 incorporating a number of amendnents .notifi~d by the Repr~sen tative of the United States.I .The present text further· incorporates amendments notified by the Representative of Canada and the latest information relating to the regulations of Cuba, Greece and . S\jeden: Introduction lo The ·analysis in this paper is based· on informatio11 concerning the regu- lations of 45 contracting States, representing a substantial part of North and South America, Southeast Asia, Middle East, Europe and Africa. Information con cerning the regulations of ·one non~contracting State , Saudi Arabia, was found to be obtainable and has been included. 2.. This information is available in ICAO in a variety of forms including NOTAM1 s, Information Circulars, AIP 1 s and administratfve notices as·well as official statements of States, at Assembly meetings or .in reply 'to Council enquiries. In the majority of cases the information includes copies of the relevant national laws on civil aviation. It is believed that the main body of these laws and regulations is in force at the present timeo 3.. Iri order to compare regulations in one country with those in another, a certain' amount of judgment. has had to be used by the Secretariat both in trans lating terms and, in interpreting their significance where different categories and concepts are usedo The resultant analysis1 is therefore tentative and ·should not be conside·red as in' anyway an.· official:. legal interpretationo · 4o It,is believed however that on the whole the information analyzed in the attached tables though incomplete in many instances, represents a useful approximate rdescription of the regulations of the majority of contracting States with respect to the granting of operating .rights to foreign non-scheduled operator~:?. · The Main ~ategories Utilizeg_. 5o The main categories distinguished in governmental.regulations applicable to 11 international non-schedu;I.ed aviation are 11 commercial11 and 11 non-commercial11 ; trans port" and nnon-transportn; nprivaten and npublic 11 ; ntransit11 and· 11 traffic stop11 .. The distinction between commercial ~ non-commercial operations is usually expressed in terms of ncarriage for remunerati'on11 , without further defining the exact impli cation of the phrase. Simila,rly.the. distinction between 11 transport 11 and 11 non transportn aviation is not generally defined. In ~y cases, the category 11 private flightn appears to cover both non-commercial and non-transport types of operation which are often not specifically referred to in the regulations. In other instances, the categorization of non-commercial or non-transport aviation is defined for domestic operations without reference to the application of the definition in the. international fieldo A7-\JP/10 lW/5 23 !·larch 53 "" 4 = 6o tJ. large .Inwibe:t• c·f st.•J.tes~ re~~ulations a.ls~ contain separate rules governing the e•rltry of foreign n(m~s(:ht-!duled fllght.s acco:r·d:.tng to 't..rhether they ~re carried· out by ai:ccJ.·~.:,:Ct cf' cox1tr::::.cting. fitrdies OJ." by those of no.n~contr:-acting Sta.teso I"l almost all cases the t.reatir.8rfTj of ai:rcr<'tft .of' contract;i.ng States is more liberal, especially ih regard. to p·d. v:.:rte fligh·ts v.t!d cc,!:.):cn~n·c1i:J.1 non=schedu1ed ~lights in ti·ansi to Underlylng thi~:~ gone:r.;,l:'.l · pt..):li(;y :is the :p:..:·inciple' ·of reciprocity 11 al:though this is often not· sp~)c~t~icf:J,J.l~r ~:ts::ted :'bt ·t.he regulationso · · Pdva.te or Non-comm9rcial or Non-trahspo,.rt Aviat:i.j..n (See Tabie II) 7o .
