ICAO State Letters
The CAA receives around 90 State Letters a year from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) many of which are administrative in nature. Some, however, invite New Zealand’s comment on a particular proposal, often to do with proposed changes in Standards or Recommended Practices.
The CAA is responsible for formulating New Zealand’s response to these State Letters. In doing so, however, it is interested in hearing industry views. If you wish to contribute your views on the proposals or are interested in finding out more information, please contact the appropriate person listed, or email piru@caa.govt.nz, for more information on any State Letter listed.
