Aerodrome Manual

The Air Navigation & Aerodromes (ANA) Department is responsible for the policy, planning and provision of the regulatory and the safety oversight activities for the United Arab Emirates Civil Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs), aerodromes, heliports and flight procedure design organizations. The ANA Department is also responsible for airspace management and approvals of commercial unmanned aviation vehicle operations and activities affecting airspace, such as pyrotechnics and laser light shows.

The manual describes the systematic approach to the operation of the aerodrome, demonstrating our commitment to managing the aerodrome safely and effectively. While accountability starts the top of any organization, it is essential that everyone understands their own responsibilities and accountabilities as defined in the manual.
