Flight Rules & Air Law

[pohlcatt]

Under what circumstances may a commercial pilot undertake a charter flight (consider AOC, a/c maintenance, and pilot licence requirements) ?

What is an ICAO identifier for an aerodrome?

What are the hazards to navigation a pilot is required to report?

IF POSSIBLE WHAT CAR'S & CAO'S COULD THESE BE FOUND IN OR AREN'T THE IN ANY?
THIS QUESTION MAY BE MORE FOR AUSTRALIAN PILOT.

thanks in advance.

The specification of any flight must be covered by the AOC of the operator. The AOC covers everthing from allowed routes or areas of operation to aircraft types and specs, pilot qualifications and experience etc. It is a very comprehensive document. An ICAO identifier comprises 4 letters, the first 2 letters refer to the nationality (EG for UK airports, eg EGHI, Southampton, UK. Hazards to navigation which should be reported include such things as hazardous weather phenomena, wake vortex, significant birdstrike hazards, volcanic ash etc, the list continues.
Sorry this is rather broad-brush, someone else may be able to put in some more detail on these subjects.

In Canada we're required by law to report UFOs, invading foreign armies, and oil spills. We used to be required to report nuclear bursts, but they seem to have taken that bit out, so I can just ignore the mushroom clouds now.
