The following entries shall be made in the journey logbook, under the heading “Observations”:

1. Any facts relevant to public health which have arisen on the aircraft in the course of the voyage;

2. Any sanitary measures undergone by the aircraft before departure or at places of call in application of the present Convention;

3. Information concerning the appearance in the country from which the aircraft is departing of any of the infectious diseases mentioned in part III of the present convention. This entry is made with a view to facilitating the medical examinations which passengers arriving at aerodromes in another territory may be required to undergo.

For this purpose, the government of any noninfected country in which one of the said diseases makes its appearance shall, in addition to other means by which it is already required to inform other countries of the outbreak of such diseases and their nature, transmit the necessary information to the competent authorities of each of its authorized aerodromes. The latter shall enter the information in the journey log of any aircraft leaving the aerodrome during a period of 15 days from the date on which the information was first received.

Aircraft shall not be required to carry bills of health. The entries made in the journey logbook in accordance with the terms of this article shall be verified and certified free of charge by the competent authority of the aerodrome.
