Title :	Charging, billing and accounting principles for international 
	aeronautical mobile service, and international aeronautical 
	mobile-satellite service

Study Group : III - Tariff and Accounting Principles

Version : New

Date of adoption : 1992

Notes :	


Recommendation D.94 sets out the charging, billing and accounting 
principles between the service provider and the customer.

There are two basic public aeronautical services: aeronautical 
mobile-satellite services (AMSS) and aeronautical mobile services 
(AMS) (direct air/ground).

There are four types of aeronautical communication: aeronautical 
public correspondence (APC), i.e. passenger voice and data services; 
air traffic services (ATS), i.e. cockpit communications with the major 
element being air traffic control; aeronautical operation control 
(AOC), i.e. communications required for the exercise of authority over 
the initiation, diversion or termination of a flight in the interest 
of the safety of the aircraft and the regularity and efficiency of a 
flight; aeronautical administrative communications (AAC), i.e. 
non-safety business of the aircraft operator.

As a general principle of aeronautical charging and accounting, it 
should not normally be necessary to identify the nationality of the 
calling passenger or the nationality/nationalities of the airspace 
occupied by the aircraft during the calls.

There are four categories of customer: passenger, commercial airline, 
private aircraft including military/government, resellers.

Recommendation D.94 sets out the charging billing and accounting 
principles applicable to those communications.
