110: De-registration requests

You could also call this:

“Asking to remove an aircraft from New Zealand's official list”

When someone has special permission to remove an aircraft from the New Zealand Register of Aircraft, they can ask the Director to do this. This person is called an authorised party.

To make this request, the authorised party needs to fill out a special form. They also need to write a statement saying one of two things:

  1. There’s no one else who has a more important claim on the aircraft, or
  2. If there is someone with a more important claim, that person has agreed to remove the aircraft from the register and allow it to be exported.

The authorised party might need to pay a fee with their request.

When the Director gets this request and the written statement, they must cancel the aircraft’s registration certificate within 5 working days.

After the Director cancels the registration, the Civil Aviation Authority will remove the aircraft from the New Zealand Register of Aircraft.
