FOREWORD
Historical background Annex 7 contains Standards adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization as the minimum Standards for the display of marks to indicate appropriate nationality and registration which have been determined to comply with Article 20 of the Convention. Standards for Aircraft Nationality and Registration Marks were first adopted by the Council on 8 February 1949 pursuant to the provisions of Article 37 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago 1944) and designated as Annex 7 to the Convention. They became effective on 1 July 1949. The Standards were based on recommendations of the first and second sessions of the Airworthiness Division held respectively in March 1946 and February 1947. Table A shows the origin of subsequent amendments together with a list of the principal subjects involved and the dates on which the Annex and the amendments were adopted by the Council, when they became effective and when they became applicable.
Status of Annex components An Annex is made up of the following component parts, not all of which, however, are necessarily found in every Annex; they have the status indicated: 1. Material comprising the Annex proper: a) Standards and Recommended Practices adopted by the Council under the provisions of the Convention. They are defined as follows: Standard. Any specification for physical characteristics, configuration, matriel, performance, personnel or procedure, the uniform application of which is recognized as necessary for the safety or regularity of international air navigation and to which Contracting States will conform in accordance with the Convention; in the event of impossibility of compliance, notification to the Council is compulsory under Article 38. Recommended Practice. Any specification for physical characteristics, configuration, matriel, performance, personnel or procedure, the uniform application of which is recognized as desirable in the interest of safety, regularity or efficiency of international air navigation, and to which Contracting States will endeavour to conform in accordance with the Convention. b) Appendices comprising material grouped separately for convenience but forming part of the Standards and Recommended Practices adopted by the Council. c) Definitions of terms used in the Standards and Recommended Practices which are not self explanatory in that they do not have accepted dictionary meanings. A definition does not have independent status but is an essential part of each Standard and Recommended Practice in which the term is used, since a change in the meaning of the term would affect the specification. d) Tables and Standard or referred to Standard or same status. (v) Figures which add to or illustrate a Recommended Practice and which are therein, form part of the associated Recommended Practice and have the
Action by Contracting States Notification of differences. The attention of Contracting States is drawn to the obligation imposed by Article 38 of the Convention by which Contracting States are required to notify the Organization of any differences between their national regulations and practices and the International Standards contained in this Annex and any amendments thereto. Further, Contracting States are invited to keep the Organization currently informed of any differences which may subsequently occur, or of the withdrawal of any differences previously notified. A specific request for notification of differences will be sent to Contracting States immediately after the adoption of each amendment to this Annex. The attention of States is also drawn to the provisions of Annex 15 related to the publication of differences between their national regulations and practices and the related ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices through the Aeronautical Information Service, in addition to the obligation of States under Article 38 of the Convention. Promulgation of information. The establishment and withdrawal of and changes to facilities, services and procedures affecting aircraft operations provided in accordance with the Standards specified in this Annex should be notified and take effect in accordance with the provisions of Annex 15.

According to Moroccan regulations, the height of the marks on the fuselage must be as large as possible, while being no smaller than 15 cm and no larger than 4/5 of the median height of the fuselage (Article 2 of the Decree of 1963). The identification plate is not mentioned in the Moroccan regulations.
NETHERLANDS, KINGDOM OF THE 3.2.5 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 The marking of unmanned free balloons is not required. In the ministerial decree of 10 August 1992, No. LI 92.5378 it is stated that owners of aircraft can make a choice between the characters as described in Annex 7 (5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4) or the typical Dutch model as described in the above-mentioned decree. A copy of the decree, including a description of the alternative model of the characters, can be obtained by submitting a request to: Civil Aviation Department Aeronautical Inspection Directorate Aircraft Registration P.O. Box 575 2130 AN Hoofddorp KINGDOM OF THE NETHERLANDS 6 and 8 The marking of unmanned free balloons is not required.
NEW ZEALAND 3.1 Aeroplanes with a maximum certificated take-off mass of 5 700 kg or less and aeroplanes operating pursuant to a special category airworthiness certificate (experimental or special flight permit) are not required to bear a nationality mark when operating in New Zealand. Civil Aviation Rules do not require the registration of unmanned free balloons. Aeroplanes, gliders and powered gliders which operate exclusively within New Zealand territory are not required to display marks on the lower surface of the wing structure. Civil Aviation Rule 101.5 exempts moored balloons, free balloons, rockets, kites, model aircraft, parasails and gyrogliders from the requirements of Civil Aviation Rule Part 47 Aircraft Registration and Marking. Civil Aviation Rule 106.9 (a) exempts hang gliders from the requirements of Civil Aviation Rule Part 47 Aircraft Registration and Marking. 7.1 Fields 4 and 5 of the Certificate of Registration specify the name and address of the person lawfully entitled to possession of the aircraft for a period of 28 days or longer instead of the name and address of the owner.
3.2.5 3.3
1/8/97
Papua New Guinea regulations do not permit airship registration markings on stabilizer surfaces. Papua New Guinea at present also requires markings on the upper surface of the wing structure. Procedures are in hand to provide compliance with this Standard. Papua New Guinea requires marks to be as large as practicable without interfering with visible outlines of the fuselage (or equivalent structure) and leaving at least a 50 mm margin along each edge of any vertical tail structure.
