3: Antarctic Flight Information Manual (AFIM) Discussion Paper [en]
Comments: A detailed review of the format and management aspects of the Antarctic Flight Information Manual (AFIM). The AFIM is a handbook of aeronautical information published by COMNAP [www.comnap.aq] as a tool towards safe air operations in Antarctica as recommended by the XVth Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM XV, Paris, 1989) in Recommendation XV-20 'Air safety in Antarctica'.
4: Towards Improved Search and Rescue (SAR Coordination and Response in the Antarctic [en]
Comments: A Working Paper submitted to the 32nd Antarctic Treaty Meeting (XXXII ATCM, Baltimore, USA, 2009) by the Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programs (COMNAP [www.comnap.aq]). It puts forward to Antarctic Treaty Parties the conclusions and recommendations expressed by the international workshop 'Towards Improved Search and Rescue Coordination and Response in the Antarctic' (Valparaiso, Chile, 2008).
5: Report of the 2008 Workshop 'Towards Improved SAR Coordination and Response in the Antarctic' [en]
Comments: Report of the international workshop 'Towards Improved Search and Rescue Coordination and Response in the Antarctic' (Para mejorar la coordinación y respuesta de búsqueda y salvamento en la Antártida). Workshop held 12-14 Aug 2008 in Valparaiso / Viña del Mar, Chile, hosted by the Chilean Directorate General of the Maritime Territory and Merchant Marine (DIRECTEMAR [www.directemar.cl]) in collaboration with the Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programs (COMNAP [www.comnap.aq]). Workshop convenors: Antoine GUICHARD and Iván Valenzuela.
Comments: An Information Paper submitted to the 31st Antarctic Treaty Meeting (XXXI ATCM, Kyiv, Ukraine, 2008) by the Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programs (COMNAP [www.comnap.aq]). It explains what arrangements are in place for Search and Rescue (SAR) in the Antarctic, what is being improved, and what has potential for further improvement.
7: International Coordination of Hydrography in Antarctica: Significance to Safety of Antarctic Ship Operations. [en]
Comments: An Information Paper submitted to the 30th Antarctic Treaty Meeting (XXX ATCM, New Delhi, India, 2007) by the Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programs (COMNAP [www.comnap.aq]). It reviews the status of hydrography in Antarctic waters, and in particular the role of the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO [www.iho.int]) Hydrographic Commission on Antarctica (HCA). It highlights its significance for safety of ship operations and the need for top-level support to ongoing efforts.
8: Antarctic Information Exchange: Importance of unambiguous and consistent geo-referencing. [en]
Comments: A Working Paper submitted to the 30th Antarctic Treaty Meeting (XXX ATCM, Delhi, India, 2007) by the Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programs (COMNAP [www.comnap.aq]). This puts forward the increasing need for the unambiguous, consistent geo-referencing of Antarctic information, in particular for the effective operation of the new Electronic Information Exchange Systems (EIESs) under development.These EIESs are needed for an effective and transparent management and protection of the Antarctic region.
