Flight Safety inspectors may conduct inspections of any foreign civil aircraft in Jamaica and this is done as part of a routine ramp surveillance activity. Non-conformances are reported to the State of Registry and the State of the Operator. Jamaican air operators have over twenty-five foreign stations in eleven countries and contracted foreign repair work for the Jamaican fleet is done in six countries at over thirty approved foreign repair stations. Contracted training or leased facility air operator training is conducted in three countries at over eight locations. All foreign stations, repair facilities and training facilities are inspected regularly and other facilities used by air operators such as contracted refueling, ramp handling, cargo handling, dispatch facilities, airport facilities, air traffic control, etc. are evaluated during routine in-flight inspections or station inspections. Non-conformances are brought to the attention of the air operator and the foreign authorities, as appropriate.
