  • Public safety requires, and the advantages of uniform regulations make it desirable in the interest of aeronautical progress, that aircraft operating within the United States Virgin Islands should conform with respect to design, construction and airworthiness to the standards prescribed by the United States government with respect to navigation of civil aircraft subject to its jurisdiction.
