During the ICAO 39th Triennial Assembly, the SAE team met with Dr. Olumuyiwa
Benard Aliu, President, ICAO Council, and Steve Creamer, Director, Air Navigation
Bureau. Discussion items included the development of global aviation safety
standards, the exchange of technical information, and the ICAO tasking of SAE to
develop performance standards for the carriage of lithium batteries.
Earlier in 2016, ICAO, a UN specialized agency, recognized SAE for inclusion on
the list of international organizations that may be invited to attend suitable ICAO
meetings. The ICAO Secretariat participates in SAE standards committees, and
ICAO publications contain numerous references to SAE documents.
Schutt, Alexander, and Feix also met with Gilberto Lopez Meyer, IATA's Senior
Vice President for Safety and Flight Operations. IATA provides a vital airline
stakeholder voice in several SAE technical committees in diverse areas such as
materials, aircraft prognostics, deicing, cargo, and ground support equipment.
On October 4, SAE participated in the ICAO Standards Roundtable with other
Standards Development Organizations (SDO) and regulatory authorities to
discuss ICAO's use of industry standards which complement ICAOs performancebased SARPs (Standards and Recommended Practices). ICAO Assembly
Resolution A38-11 instructs ICAO, to the maximum extent appropriate, to make
use of material developed by SDOs when adopting ICAO provisions. SAE is one
of the key SDO partners providing guidance material and acceptable means of
compliance to ICAO provisions.
