Ensuring aviation safety through surveillance and enforcement

To ensure that regulated entities continue to comply with Singapore’s aviation safety legislation and requirements, CAAS puts in place a safety oversight system.

The system features:

• a robust enforcement framework to deter contraventions

• surveillance activities such as regular safety audits and inspections

To strengthen our system, we:

• collect and analyse safety data from surveillance activities

• use a data-driven and risk-based approach to identify potential safety concerns

While ensuring aviation safety, we also:

• optimise our surveillance efforts

• reduce the need for industry to meet overlapping requirements

 To support this, we:

• align our regulatory requirements with international standards and best practices

• have mutual recognition of certifications with other countries
