ELIGIBILITY FOR REGISTRATION

GENERAL RULE Except as otherwise provided in the Constitution and existing treaty or treaties, no aircraft shall be eligible for
registration unless it is owned by or leased to a citizen or citizens of the Philippines or corporations or associations organized under the
laws of the Philippines at least sixty per centum (60%) of whose capital is owned by Filipino citizens. That, under such rules and
regulations to be promulgated by the Board, foreign-owned or registered aircraft may be registered if utilized by members of aero clubs
organized for recreation, sport or the development of flying skills as a prerequisite to any aeronautical activities of such clubs within the
Philippine airspace. (Section 44, R.A. 9497).

APPLICATION FOR AN “ORIGINAL”AIRCRAFT REGISTRATION An applicant for an Original Aircraft Registration, who has met the
requirements for the registration of aircraft, must submit an application form duly accomplished with proof of any interest in the
aircraft as owner or lessee to the Engineering and Aircraft Registration Division, Airworthiness Department, Flight Standards
Inspectorate Service.

SUBMISSION OF COMPREHENSIVE DOCUMENTS If the aircraft for registration was not purchased from the last registered owner, the
applicant must submit comprehensive history of ownership, starting from the first registered owner to the last registered owner.

PROOF OF INTEREST IN THE AIRCRAFT The original “Deed of Absolute Sale”, “Bill of Sale” or its equivalent or “Contract of Lease” may
be used as proof of interest on an aircraft.

AUTHENTICATION OF DOCUMENTS In a situation where a Deed of Absolute Sale or Contract of Lease was executed outside the
Philippine territory, aforesaid documents must be authenticated either at the Philippine Consular Office or the Philippine Embassy
where the said “Deed of Sale” or “Contract of Lease” was perfected and consummated.
=========================================================================================================
AIRCRAFT NOT ELIGIBLE FOR REGISTRATION

AIRCRAFT TOTALLY DECLARED AS SCRAPPED/DESTROYED Aircraft that has been declared through/by a competent authority as
scrapped or totally destroyed is not eligible for registration.

MILITARY AIRCRAFT Subject to international treaty or agreement, a military aircraft is not eligible for registration or use in the
Philippines for civil aviation unless duly certified by the state of design or manufacture for commercial or private use, provided the state
of design or state of manufacture certified that the aircraft has been converted to a civilian configuration; provided further that the state
of design or state of manufacture is a member-state of ICAO.
=========================================================================================================
ISSUANCE OF TEMPORARY C of R Pending issuance of the reconstituted CofR, a temporary “certificate of registration” may be issued
valid only for fifteen (15) days upon payment of corresponding fee. Such may be extended for another fifteen (15) days only upon
payment of an extension fee.

PENALTIES After 01 January 2013 and after issuance of a new and revised CofR, appropriate fine shall be imposed for failure to file an
application for revalidation of certificate of registration of aircraft with completed documentary requirements within thirty (30) days
before expiration thereof.
=========================================================================================================
No registration mark shall be assigned to more than one (1) aircraft. An aircraft eligible for registration which was previously de-
registered under Philippine Civil aviation regulations shall use its original registration mark.

Aircraft that has been declared through/by the foreign CAA as scrapped or totally destroyed are not eligible for registration.

TEMPORARY C of R FOR FERRY PURPOSES In case the aircraft is located outside the Philippines and for delivery or transporting
purposes, upon the recommendation of the assigned inspector, the ADG II is authorized to issue in behalf of the Director General a
temporary “Certificate of Registration-for Delivery or Ferrying” may be issued with maximum validity period of thirty (30) days.

For aircraft to be registered as RP-C, RP-R and RP-G (as applicable), an evidence that the aircraft is under a Type Design Approval (Type
Certificate) e.g. serial number / production batch is reflected in the type approval data summary (Type Certificate Data Sheets) or
equivalent design approval summary. Entries in CAAP Form 1028-1 or 1028-2 must be consistent with the current Type Certificate
issued by the State of Design. The applicant shall also be required to submit a certification or proof of the airworthiness status of the
aircraft to determine its classification applicability.

REQUEST FOR AIRCRAFT INSPECTION For aircraft to be registered as RP-C, RP-G, and RP-R (as applicable), the applicant must submit
another written request to the ADG II, Flight Standards Inspectorate Service, through the Chief, CATCID/GACID, who will assign a CAAP
airworthiness inspector to conduct aircraft inspection. The applicant shall make the necessary arrangements for the inspection of the
aircraft either locally or abroad, the expenses of which shall be assessed and billed by the CAAP Travel Office. Any aircraft found not
within the aircraft classification provided in paragraphs (e)(2), (e)(3), (e)(4), Subsection 4.3.1.3 of PCAR Part 4 (airworthiness
requirements compliance) will be issued a registration mark RP-X or RP-S [For non-type certificated aircraft see paragraphs (b) and (c),
Subsection 11.10.1.1 of PCAR Part 11]. After the inspection/evaluation, the Chief, Aircraft Registration Section shall process for the
Assistant Director General II (ADG II, FSIS) recommendation to the Director General’s consideration/approval the original Certificate of
Registration with maximum validity period of twelve (12) months.

AIRCRAFT REGISTRATION DATA PLATE The aircraft registration holder is required to have a “fire-proof” aircraft registration data
plate specifying the nationality and registration mark of the aircraft (suitably marked by etching, stamping, engraving or other approved
method), and secured to the aircraft in a prominent position, near the main entrance, or, in the case of a free balloon, affixed
conspicuously to the exterior of the payload. This is in addition to the manufacturer’s aircraft identification data plate.
NATIONALITY AND REGISTRATION MARKS

MARKINGS
A. An acceptable means to secure the degree of permanence required for aircraft registration marking is to use quality paint that will
require paint thinners or paint strippers to remove the registration markings on the aircraft skin, or, to affix the nationality and
registration marks in the form of placards (i.e. weather-proof aircraft stickers). The use of water-soluble paint (i.e. posterpaint,
etc..) or tape, which can be peeled-off easily, is not an acceptable level of performance, therefore, should not be used for registration
marking.

B. Ornamentation and color contrast may affect the legibility of the nationality and registration marks on the aircraft. Thus, the
registration mark background should not be highly decorated. One way to determine whether a nationality or registration mark is
legible, if a fifty (50) centimeters nationality and registration marks can be clearly distinguished without the aid of binoculars or
telescope from a distance of one-hundred fifty (150) meters, in a horizontal line, perpendicular to the side of the aircraft during
daylight hours.

C. With changing technology, marks may be computer generated and as such are designed to be optically true and at the same time
aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The Authority accepts the use of computer graphics for the generation of registration marks, and
the use of laser cut adhesive backed tape. The only concern is that the final product must satisfy the criteria for permanency.

D. Further, subject to the application of professional sign-writing practice and the geometry of the aircraft, the nationality and
registration marks may be skewed to an acceptable degree. It is not the intention to specify what constitutes “an acceptable
degree”, but should not be more than thirty-five degrees (35°) from the perpendicular in order that the marks are still legible.

DISPLAY OF MARKS
A. Unless authorized by the Authority, a design, mark, or symbol that modifies or confuses the nationality, registration mark or any of
the marks depicting the “restricted”, “limited”, “experimental”, “amateur-built” or “provisional” markings, must not be placed on the
aircraft.

B. The standards for nationality and registration marks with respect to colour, legibility, permanence, location, and size are specified
in PCAR Part 4. Chapter 5 of this Manual gives some guidance with regard to the location of marks.

DISPLAY OF MARKS: GENERAL


 Each owner shall display on that aircraft marks consisting of the Roman capital letter denoting nationality of the Republic
of the Philippines followed by the registration number of the aircraft in Arabic numerals. Each suffix letter used in the
marks displayed must also be a Roman capital letter.
 If, because of the aircraft configuration, it is not possible to mark the aircraft in accordance with this Part, the owner may
apply to the Authority for a different procedure.

SIZE OF MARKS
 Each operator of an aircraft shall display marks on the aircraft meeting the size requirements of this section.
 Height. The character marks shall be of equal height and on-
(1) Heavier-than-air aircraft, shall be at least:
(i) 50 centimeters high if on the wings; and
(ii) 30 centimeters high if on the fuselage (or equivalent structure) and vertical tail surfaces.
(2) Lighter-than-air aircraft other than unmanned free balloons, shall be at least 50 centimeters high.
(3) Unmanned free balloons, shall be determined by the Authority taking into consideration the size of the surface to
which the identification plate is affixed.
 Width. Characters must be two-thirds as wide as they are high, except the number "1", which must be one-sixth as wide as
it is high, and the letters "M" and "W" which may be as wide as they are high.
 Thickness. Characters shall be formed by solid lines one-sixth as thick as the character is high.
 Spacing. The space between each character may not be less than one-fourth of the character width.

 Uniformity. The marks required by this Part for fixed-wing aircraft must have the same height, width, thickness, and
spacing on both sides of the aircraft.

 Each operator of an aircraft penetrating an ADIZ or DEWIZ shall display on that aircraft temporary or permanent
nationality and registration marks at least 30 centimeters high.

DEVIATIONS FOR SIZE AND LOCATION OF MARKS


 If either one of the surfaces authorized for displaying required marks is large enough for display of marks meeting the size
requirements of this section and the other is not, the operator shall place full-size marks on the larger surface.
 If neither surface is large enough for full-size marks, the Authority may approve marks as large as practicable for display
on the larger of the two surfaces.

LOCATION OF MARKS ON FIXED-WING AIRCRAFT


 Fuselage/Tail: The aircraft shall display the required marks on either the vertical tail surfaces or the sides of the fuselage.
 The marks required by paragraph (a) of this section shall be displayed as follows:

1. If displayed on the vertical tail surfaces, horizontally on both surfaces, horizontally on both surfaces of a single
vertical tail or on the outer surfaces of a multi-vertical tail.
2. If displayed on the fuselage surfaces, horizontally on both sides of the fuselage between the trailing edge of the
wing and the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer.
3. If engine pods or other appurtenances are located in the area described in paragraph (b)(2) and are an integral
part of the aircraft, the operator may place the marks on those pods or appurtenances.
 Wings: the marks shall appear once on the lower surface of the wing structure as follows:

1. Shall be located on the left half of the lower surface of the wing structure unless they extend across the whole of
the lower surface of the wing structure. So far as is possible, the marks shall be located equidistant from the
leading and trailing edges of the wings.
2. The tops of the letters and numbers shall be toward the leading edge of the wing.

LOCATION OF MARKS ON ROTORCRAFT - Each operator of a rotorcraft shall display marks horizontally on both surfaces of
the cabin, fuselage, boom, or tail; such that the rotorcraft can be readily identified.

LOCATION OF MARKS ON LIGHTER-THAN-AIR AIRCRAFT


 Airships. The operator shall place marks on an airship to appear on
1. The hull, located lengthwise on each side of the hull and on its upper surface on the line of symmetry; or
2. The horizontal and vertical stabilizers surfaces-
(i) For the horizontal stabilizer, located on the right half of the upper surface and on the left half of the lower
surface, with the tops of the letters and numbers toward the leading edge; and
(ii) For the vertical stabilizer, located on each side of the bottom half stabilizer, with the letters and numbers
placed horizontally.
 Spherical balloons (other than unmanned free balloons). The operator shall apply marks to appear in two places
diametrically opposite each other and located near the maximum horizontal circumference of the balloon.
 Non-spherical balloons (other than unmanned free balloons). The operator shall apply marks to appear on each side,
located near the maximum cross-section of the balloon immediately above either the rigging band or the points of
attachment of the basket suspension cables.
 Lighter-than-air aircraft (other than unmanned free balloons). The operator shall apply side marks to be visible both from
the sides and from the ground.
 Unmanned free balloons. The operator shall apply marks to appear on the identification plate.

C. When the aircraft has been deregistered from the Philippines, these marks shall be removed immediately and may be subject
to verification inspection.

SPECIAL MARKING RULES


A. With respect to antique, restored or replica aircraft or when the aircraft is being operated for the purpose of exhibition (including
motion pictures, television or air shows), the display of aircraft nationality and registration markings may be relaxed.

B. The relaxation is only permitted, provided that the aircraft is:


 operated at the location of the exhibition;
 flying to and from the exhibition; and
 the Authority has been provided with a photograph (or drawing) of the aircraft.

C. Similar relaxation provisions with respect to the size and location of nationality and registration markings exist for FAR Part 23 (or
similar), certificated aircraft built at least forty-five (45) years ago or Philippine registered aircraft for which an experimental
certificate has been issued, provided that the aircraft is not operated in a foreign country or operated for commercial purposes.

AIRCRAFT REGISTRATION DATA PLATE


A. The aircraft registration holder is required to have a “fire-proof” aircraft registration data plate specifying the nationality and
registration mark of the aircraft (suitably marked by etching, stamping, engraving or other approved method), and secured to the
aircraft in a prominent position, near the main entrance, or, in the case of a free balloon, affixed conspicuously to the exterior of the
payload. This is in addition to the manufacturer’s aircraft identification data plate.

B. A “prominent position, near the main entrance” for an aircraft registration data plate may be either external or internal, and would
be considered acceptable when it is visible to a person at, or within, the entrance to the aircraft. “Prominent position” does not
mean that the aircraft registration data plate must be visible from the outside or without opening the door, or that it must be visible
without removing things such as baggage or carry-on items from the aircraft. For an aircraft with more than one door, the entrance
most used by the flight crew would be considered the most appropriate location for the identification plate. If, under certain
conditions, the plate is covered or enclosed in any manner, its accessibility would be considered acceptable if it can be revealed
without the use of tools or removing aircraft components. The plate must not be installed on the area where the structural integrity
of the aircraft may be affected when such installation involves drilling of aircraft structures including the aircraft skin.

C. The term “fireproof”, as it relates to the nationality and registration data plate to be affixed to the aircraft, is defined to mean the
capacity to withstand the heat associated with fire at least as well as steel in dimensions appropriate for the purpose for which they
are used.

D. Requirement of an aircraft identification plate

a. Material: Fireproof material, stainless steel is preferred but other fireproof material of suitable physical properties may be
allowed;
b. Size: Size shall be minimun of 1-inch x 2-inches or a maximum of 6 –inches by 3-inches, depending on the size of the aircraft.
Size may differ for each aircraft type;
c. Location: Aircraft identification plate must be located inside the aircraft and near the main entrance door or alongside with the
manufacturer’s data plate;
d. Contents: At least the nationality and registration marks;
e. Markings: Machine etched not painted
