Find the EASA implementing rule that corresponds to any ICAO Annex 6 standard, or trace any EASA rule back to its ICAO origin. Where EASA goes beyond the ICAO standard, this is indicated.

When is this page useful?
IOSA audits
IATA IOSA auditors reference ICAO Annex 6 standards. Use this mapping to show which EASA rule satisfies each ICAO standard being audited.
Wet lease & third-country operations
When working with non-EU authorities, partners or TCO arrangements where counterparts work from ICAO-based frameworks rather than EASA rules.
Understanding why a rule exists
Tracing an EASA rule back to its ICAO origin helps explain the intent behind it — useful when writing OM content or answering crew questions.
Where EASA goes further
The "EASA goes further" badges show where EU rules exceed the ICAO baseline — useful context for pilots or managers trained outside the EU.
If you hold an EASA AOC and operate entirely within EASA airspace, you can safely ignore this page — EASA rules are your only reference.
Coverage: This mapping covers Annex 6 Part I (international commercial air transport, aeroplanes) — the primary ICAO document for CAT operators. Part II (international general aviation — aeroplanes) and Part III (international operations — helicopters) are outside the scope of this tool. EASA rules covering NCC, NCO, SPO and helicopter CAT are also not covered. All EASA references are to Reg. 965/2012 Revision 24 (March 2026).

⚠ Disclaimer: This mapping is an educational reference tool. ICAO Annex 6 standards and EASA regulations are complex documents — a single paragraph may have multiple implementing rules and vice versa. This table shows the primary correspondence only. Always consult the official ICAO Annex 6 and the EASA Easy Access Rules for compliance purposes.
