Enhanced Civil Aviation Security: New Aircraft Registration Rules
This act introduces stricter aircraft registration rules to enhance security and prevent their use for criminal activities. Citizens who own or plan to purchase an aircraft must prepare for more detailed personal data and verification requirements. The changes aim to make it harder to conceal true aircraft owners and combat illegal operations.
Key points
Requirement for detailed personal information (name, address, date of birth, driver's/pilot's license, photos) when registering an aircraft, including for non-publicly traded entities.
Screening of applicants against sanctions lists, preventing aircraft registration by sanctioned individuals and entities.
Increased aircraft registration fees to cover data verification and system modernization costs.
Implementation of mechanisms for suspending and revoking dealer certificates, enhancing control over aircraft transactions.
Establishment of a dedicated task force to address security threats related to aircraft registration.
