Current rule
CASR Part 47 – Registration of aircraft and related matters
Part 47 of the CASRs sets out the rules for registering, transferring and cancelling registration on an aircraft on the Australian Civil Aircraft Register by owners of aircraft. This includes assigning registration marks and dealer marks, and defining situations where registration is not required.
Following an initial making and disallowance in 2000, Part 47 was re-made on 10 June 2004 and became effective on 15 November 2004. It introduced a simplified system of registering aircraft which includes:
- lodgement of aircraft registration by telephone (in addition to that already provided by facsimile or hard copy) and a simplified system of transfer of registration;
- introduction of an interim Certificate of Registration (CoR);
- triennial census of registration database;
- reintroduction of dealer marks (trade plates);
- simplified transfer of ownership, akin to motor vehicle ownership transfer; and
- clearly identify the person responsible for airworthiness and maintenance control.
Who Part 47 affects
- In the Australian aviation community, anyone who intends to apply for, hold, transfer or cancel an aircraft certificate of registration;
- Anyone required to comply with Civil Aviation Safety Regulations; and
- Anyone responsible for the operation of the Australian Civil Aircraft Register.
Post-Implementation Review (PIR)
The objectives of this PIR are to:
- Identify and delete unnecessary and/or non-safety related regulations;
- Identify and delete or revise underutilised regulations;
- Provide definitions, as required, to clarify the intent of the regulations;
- Standardise various registration time limits and methods of application;
- Combine some regulations and reorder into a more logical sequence;
- Align with the standards and practices of other NAAs, where applicable to Australian operations; and
- Simplify and reduce the overall number of regulations.
A working group consisting of CASA staff and industry participants will address these objectives, in concert with the Post-Implementation Review of CASR Part 45.
