What are OTARs?
The Overseas Territories Aviation Requirements (OTARs) describe the means by which aircraft operators, aviation personnel and providers of services can gain approvals, licences and certificates and the process through which these are maintained. This process ensures adequate levels of safety and internationally agreed standards are met.

Consultation on changes to requirements
With the exception of guidance material, editorial changes and requirements which need urgent publication, there will be a formal consultation process for changes to Overseas Territories Aviation Requirements (OTARs).
If you would like to be notified when material is available for review and comment please register for E-Mail Alerts. Proposed changes will normally be available via this website.
Comments received during any formal consultation process will be considered and, where appropriate, changes will be incorporated into an amendment to the OTARs. Disindentified comments and our responses will be published in a log on this website following the formal consultation period.
You may comment on the content of the OTARs at any time by e-mailing editor@airsafety.aero.
