Aruba introduces specific aviation designated inspectors ("DI") regulation

Effective July 3rd, 2013 the Government of Aruba has introduced a ministerial ordinance codifying the use of designated inspectors (“DI”s) by the director of the Department of Civil Aviation of Aruba (“DCA”). This framework allows DI’s to be engaged by the Registry in procedures regarding airworthiness, crew licensing, operators’ manuals and compliance of flight simulators with the local regulations. This framework allows the DCA and the Registry to increase the service levels and the global flight safety oversight, without burdening the public’s budget with higher fixed costs.
