- Q11
Contracting states must not mandate the authorized agent or pilot-in-command to provide public authorities with more than a specified number of copies of the General Declaration, Cargo Manifest, and stores list before the aircraft's departure. What are the required numbers of copies?
- A2 copies of General Declaration and Cargo Manifest and one copie of a simple stores list.
- B2 copies of General Declaration and of Cargo Manifest and of a stores list
- C2 of each
Show answer
Correct answer: C. 2 of each
The correct answer is **C: 2 of each** because, according to the standards set out in Annex 9 (Facilitation) of the Chicago Convention, contracting states cannot require more than two copies of the General Declaration, Cargo Manifest, and Stores List to be submitted to public authorities before an aircraft's departure. This ensures uniformity, prevents unnecessary administrative burden on airlines, and facilitates efficient processing. Option **A** is incorrect because it specifies only one copy of the Stores List, which does not align with the requirement for two copies of each document. Option **B** is incorrect because it redundantly repeats "2 copies of each" unnecessarily, making it less clear. Option **D** is incorrect because it is incomplete and provides no information. Thus, **C** directly and concisely matches the regulatory requirement.
