1. 1 Business Aviation Safety Seminar Asia 2010 “Regulatory Oversight of Business Aviation” Singapore’s Experience and Perspective

2. 2  General Aviation in Singapore  Principles, philosophies and approach in promulgating Singapore General Aviation Regulations (SGAR)  Challenges  Conclusion Outline

3. 3  Singapore = Small geographical size All Business Aviation (BA) flights are International All Business Aviation (BA) flights are International Geography

4. 4 Gulfstream G550 Range 12500 km

5. Singapore-registered aircraft

6. 6  No BA aircraft on Singapore Register  Either “N”, “VP” or “VH” registered Aircraft at Seletar Aerospace Park

7. Developing SGAR  Adopt ICAO Standards  Must protect third parties  Acceptable level of safety for passengers Passenger would not enjoy same level of safety as fare-paying passenger in commercial air transport  Maximum freedom of actions 7

8. Regulatory requirement/ Acceptable level of safety Complexity of Operation <5700kg Risk Conceptual Framework Complex/ Turbo jet Weight and Capability of Aircraft

9. 9  Owner or Pilot-in-Command must assume responsibility for safety of operations for less complex aircraft.  For more complex aircraft, the operator must assume responsibility. Who is responsible?

10. 10  BA may be commercial or Corporate  For corporate owned: Do not have organisation structure similar to that of commercial air transport May have flight ops department Allow the owner/operator to contract the full engineering and maintenance activities – owner/operator retain responsibility Safety Oversight

11. 11 Streamline Procedures  Streamline Procedures Speed up Approval processes  Speed up Approval processes Inbound Aircraft

12. IBAC Definition of BA Sub-division 1– Commercial Commercial operation/use of aircraft by companies with the availability of the aircraft for charter (professional pilots) Sub-Division 2 – Corporate Non-commercial operation/use of aircraft as an aid to the conduct of company business (professional pilots) Sub-Division 3 – Owner Operated The non-commercial operation or use of aircraft by an individual for the carriage of passengers

13. Market Review – Drivers of BA Activity Local economic activity and HNWI’s Based businesses / corporate HQ’s Market acceptance of aircraft ownership Based Private Aircraft Local / regional / global economy Tourism (traditional, medical, integrated resorts) Satellite offices In-bound Aircraft Local / regional economy Geography Comparison to alternative transport modes Local Charter Aircraft

16. 16 Group OwnershipGroup Ownership – 1 Aircraft may be owned by several owners. Identify 1 owner to be accountable => Private aircraft. Fractional OwnershipFractional Ownership – Multiple owners have a pooling agreement by which aircraft is shared.  Management company will run the operations and functions typical of an operator. Types of Ownership

17. 17  Regulatory and safety oversight requirements are robust and biz-friendly  Continuous review and refinement to keep pace with industry  Other aspects in growing business aviation CONCLUSION
