In plain language

You must deregister your drone online if it is lost, broken, sold, or if the label becomes unreadable. Once deregistered, you must peel off and destroy the label.

Requirement as structured

CAAS requires operators to deregister their unmanned aircraft via the UA Portal if it is lost, damaged beyond repair, has an illegible label, or is transferred to another person, and to subsequently remove and destroy the label.

Original regulatory text

You must deregister your UA via the UA Portal in any of the following situations: - Your UA is lost or damaged beyond repair. - The registration label is damaged or illegible. - You have sold or given your UA to another person... After deregistration, remove the label from the UA and destroy it.
