Many countries issue licenses or certificates which are based on ICAO Annex 1 and 6 as well as ICAO DOC 7192 D3 . Unfortunately not all countries have adopted a mandatory license/certification and joint responsibility/flight watch operational control systems . The FAA has mandated the use of flight dispatchers/joint responsibility/flight watch since the " Civil Aeronautic Act " was passed in 1938 . Canada has adopted a similar approach in the wake of the Air Ontario Flight 1363 plane crash in Dryden , Ontario , in 1989 . Due to several more accidents , the FAA is lobbying the ICAO for tighter regulations
