M.A.905 Transfer of aircraft registration within the Union

(a)The applicant should notify the competent authority of the former Member State of registry to allow the proper exchange of information between the two competent authorities during the aircraft transfer process.

(b)The requirements in point M.A.905 concerning the transfer of aircraft apply only when the aircraft has an airworthiness certificate issued in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 at the time of application. If this is not the case, the requirements in point M.A.906 should be followed, regardless of whether the aircraft is already registered in a Member State and the applicant intends to register it and obtain an airworthiness certificate in another Member State.

(c)An AMP should be approved prior to the issuance or amendment of the ARC per point M.A.905. Therefore, an AMP should be submitted to the new competent authority for approval, unless an agreement exists as specified in point M.1(3)(ii) or it was indirectly approved in accordance with point M.A.302(c). If there are significant differences between the previous and the new AMP, a bridging check should be performed and any required maintenance must be completed before the ARC is issued or amended.
