The primary role of Aerodrome Standards Inspectorate is to license all those aerodromes required under the civil aviation regulations.  The Inspectorate oversees the safety of aviation activities at licensed aerodromes in the Seychelles through the licensing process followed by continuous regulatory oversight. All aspects of the aerodrome and heliport and its management which have an impact on aeronautical safety are considered. The Inspectorate interprets and implements international regulations and standards applicable to Aerodrome Standards, including ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) by promulgating standards applicable in Seychelles. It works closely with the Flight Operations Inspectorate in the development of recommended best practices for operation at unlicensed aerodromes and heliports. It collaborates closely with the Air Navigation Standards Section and Seychelles service providers to facilitate the development of effective Safety Management Systems within the air navigation service environments.
