Identify the year in which the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) was established at Montreal, Canada.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: 1947

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The ICAO is a specialized agency coordinating international civil aviation standards and regulations. Knowing its founding year is standard aviation general knowledge.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Chicago Convention signed in 1944 laid groundwork.
  • ICAO began formal operations and was established in 1947 with headquarters in Montreal.


Concept / Approach:
Differentiate between the signing of foundational conventions and the date the organization officially came into being and commenced operations.


Step-by-Step Solution:

Recognize that although wartime agreements occurred in the mid-1940s, the post-war formal establishment occurred in 1947 in Montreal.


Verification / Alternative check:

Standard aviation history references list 1947 as ICAO’s establishment with HQ in Montreal.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

1929/1939 precede the Chicago Convention context; 1950/1952 are later than the well-known 1947 establishment year.


Common Pitfalls:

Confusing the 1944 Chicago Convention signing with the 1947 establishment of ICAO.


Final Answer:

1947
