Standards for setting pressure altimeters to ensure consistent vertical separation between aircraft.

One of the most debated topics in Volume 3 is the "maximum bank angle" (25° or 30°) used for design. If a designer uses too aggressive a turn, pilots may not comply. Volume 3 provides formulas to ensure the turn initiation point is mathematically flyable for all categories of aircraft (from a Cessna 172 to a Boeing 747).

By staying up-to-date with the latest developments and guidance on aircraft performance, aviation professionals can help to ensure the continued safety, efficiency, and sustainability of air transport operations.

ICAO Doc 8168 Volume III (Aircraft Operating Procedures) is a dedicated, pilot-centric volume of the PANS-OPS, introduced in 2018 to consolidate operational procedures and safety guidance. It provides standardized guidance on altimeter settings, holding patterns, instrument approach procedures, and equipment operations like ACAS.
