How We Operate
The FSM Division of Civil Aviation provides safety oversight for all aviation activities. Inspectors for air operations, aircraft maintenance security and airport operations all work at the national level. Accident/incident investigations are also accomplished at the national level. The airports within the FSM are owned by the island/state where they are located. The owning state is responsible for airport operations. Aviation training and commercial aircraft operations are provided by independent operators.
