An Air Operators Certificate is required for the provision of scheduled or non-scheduled flights, as well as any aerial works including associated training and crop spraying by any aviation companies. The Flight Operations Division works closely with the Airworthiness Division as the scope of work involves aircraft inspectors and assessment of flight simulator performance. A comprehensive description of inspectors’ responsibilities is documented in the Flight Operations Inspectors (FOI) Handbook. Information and guidance on Air Operator Administration and Air Operator Certificate is documented in FOD-ORO.

A Certificate of Approval is required for any organisation intending to conduct flying activities for training of student pilots or for recreational purposes.

Mandatory Occurrence Reporting (MOR) scheme allows aviation personnel to submit safety related occurrences reports which are kept in a database. Analyses of these reports are important for safety monitoring and reviews.

Accident Investigation is conducted by AAIB which reports direct to Ministry of Transport. Flight Operation Division will be roped in if our expertise is needed.
