Registration validity for acceptable modifications
Verified from official sources14.01(4)Version 1Effective -Verified 25 August 2026
In plain language
If you make minor, acceptable modifications to your registered drone, your existing registration remains valid for that drone in its modified state, but it cannot be used for any other aircraft.
Requirement as structured
If a registered RPA undergoes a modification that is not an unacceptable modification, the existing registration applies to the aircraft as modified and ceases to apply to any other aircraft.
Original regulatory text
If an unmanned aircraft to which this section applies is: (a) registered under Division 47.C.2 of CASR; and (b) subsequently modified; and (c) the modification is not an unacceptable modification; then the aircraft’s registration: (d) is taken to apply to the aircraft as modified; and (e) ceases to apply to any other aircraft.
