Documents for Organizations

This is a selection of documents and guides produced by various of the civil aviation authorities around the world. Mainly, they are aimed at improving the safety of smaller operators.

Please note that some of these documents are quite large, and can take a considerable amount of time to download over a dial-up internet connection. The "Download Time" given in the last column is the "best case" where your line actually operates at 28.8 KB. If you've been around the internet for awhile, you should realize by now that the connections seldom (or never) operate at the advertised speed, so don't be surprised if the actual download time is much longer that the number given here.
