EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION AMONG COMPETENT AUTHORITIES In certain cases, following the revocation or surrender of an airworthiness certificate issued by a Member State (MS1) under Regulation (EU) No 748/2012, the aircraft may subsequently be registered in another Member State (MS2) without the issuance of a new airworthiness certificate. When an applicant later seeks to register the aircraft and obtain a new airworthiness certificate from a different Member State (MS3), it is essential to exchange relevant information not only with the previous competent authority (MS2), but more importantly with the authority that revoked the previous airworthiness certificate or accepted its surrender (MS1). That authority was effectively responsible for the oversight of the aircraft’s continuing airworthiness and can provide more details regarding the aircraft’s history.
