(1)
Except as otherwise expressly provided by sections 6 and 7, this Part and Part 2 also extend to —
every foreign registered aircraft specified in any 83 bis agreement that has the effect of transferring functions or duties to Singapore;
every Singapore registered aircraft outside Singapore, subject to any 83 bis agreement that has the effect of transferring functions or duties to another Contracting State;
every holder of an aviation safety instrument while outside Singapore and exercising or purporting to exercise privileges accorded by that instrument;
every person in, or any of the crew of, any Singapore registered aircraft or aircraft operated by a Singapore operator, wherever they may be, insofar as this Act prohibits, requires or regulates the doing of anything by such persons in, or by any of the crew of, Singapore registered aircraft or aircraft operated by a Singapore operator; (e)every person in any aircraft (not being a Singapore registered aircraft or an aircraft operated by a Singapore operator) who commits any act or omission on board the aircraft while in flight elsewhere than in or over Singapore, insofar as this Act prohibits, requires or regulates the doing of anything by the person in the aircraft, and the aircraft subsequently lands in Singapore with the person who committed the act or omission still on board the aircraft; and
every other person wherever they may be, insofar as any provision of this Act prohibits, requires or regulates the doing of anything in relation to any Singapore registered aircraft or aircraft operated by a Singapore operator, by such other persons.
(2)
Except where an act or omission is required in order to comply with the laws of any foreign country, every holder of an aviation safety instrument who, while outside Singapore and exercising or purporting to exercise the privileges accorded by that instrument, commits an act or omission that would constitute an offence under this Act if it were committed in Singapore, is deemed to have committed an offence under this Act and may be proceeded against in Singapore as if the act or omission had occurred within Singapore.
(3)
A person outside Singapore who operates an unmanned aircraft in a manner which, if the person were in Singapore, would be an offence under section 32, 33, 34 or 35, shall be guilty of an offence under section 32, 33, 34 or 35, as the case may be.
(4)
Nothing in this section is to be interpreted as requiring a person or aircraft to contravene or be operated in contravention of a law of a foreign country or territory that applies to or in respect of the person or aircraft.[2B
