OOS Registrations
There are some real belters out there - mine included.
Can anybody explain to me why it is not possible to transfer a 'personal' registration from one aircraft to another?
When an aircraft is sold, and the new owner doesn't want the existing reg - it is cancelled and the aircraft re-registered.
Unfortunately, the original reg is lost forever.
Mine is particularly relevant to my business. To lose it is unthinkable.
I would otherwise consider buying new again in 05 - my aircraft will then be 5 years old.
THe light aircraft industry is not brilliant at the moment - the ability to transfer registrations will surely stimulate the industry - to the extent of exisitng owners at least.
Mine is a clear case.
What about resurrecting those lost too?
I well remember G-SPOT - long lost folowing the demise of the Partenavias Spotter that wore it.
I would have though that an increase in registration fees from the current £200 would be quite acceptable in such cases, thus paying for the additional admin.
Any views?
