Which ICAO Annex governs Rules of the Air?

• A. ICAO Annex 2
• B. ICAO Annex 11
• C. ICAO Annex 15
• D. ICAO Doc 4444

Answer: (A)

The rules governing the air are contained in the ICAO annex titled Rules of the Air. This annex sets out the general flight rules, right-of-way principles, and other basic operating requirements that apply to all aircraft worldwide, covering both visual and instrument flight operations. It provides the baseline guidelines that pilots and operators follow to ensure safe and predictable conduct in the air. The other documents address different areas: one annex covers air traffic services and ATC procedures, another deals with aeronautical information services, and a procedural document outlines ATS/ATM procedures. None of these establish the general Rules of the Air, which is why the annex titled Rules of the Air is the correct reference.
