Aircraft registrations.

[planedriver]

Out of interest, I clicked on the aircraft registrations tab, to find that it only covers GA aircraft.

 

I've sometimes seen a light sport aircraft that was of interest, and wondered if there is an easy to use list, to find out it's type, and who it's registered to, etc; by simply punching in it's rego number?

Hmmm. & then give all those airport operators out there the ability to send us bills for landing - no thanks

Sorry mate, never thought of that aspect :hittinghead:, spose there are advantages in

Its here RA-Aus aircraft register (xhtml w3c 12/09)

 

There are some interesting statistics and a choice of format (by date, by number). If you are after a particular rego number, try Edit, Find - note that one number can be used more than once in different classes eg 10-0186 and 25-0186. There are no address details - RAA & privacy issues. But some airports still charge landing fees for ultralights. I vaugely remember being told RAA pass them on rather than releasing their register - but I could be terribly wrong.

Put the rego in Mr Google, nearly always brings up the details somewhere.

rego details.

 

With the generally restrictive situation that exists regarding privacy, I am surprised that the GA records are SO available. You cannot do it with a motor vehicle so whether you agree with it one way ot the other there should be some consistency. Nev

I agree Facthunter... It baffles me that GA ownership details are available to all???

RA-Aus aircraft register (xhtml w3c 12/09)[/url]Unless I`ve missed it, RA-Aus aircraft register doesn`t identify who the AC is registered to.

Mmmm. So WHO should pay for maintenance and upkeep ???

 

 

[winsor68]

To me it is not about landing fees... it is about privacy. Anyone can see an aircraft (or a photo) and quick as you like find out who owns it and where it is located. It just belies belief that CASA would allow this!!!!

Thanks Sue & Tomo.

 

One of the main reasons I asked, is that i've seen an early Jabiru LSA sitting looking like it had'nt been moved forever and a day. I'll have to check out the rego again.

 

Kind Regards

Who pays maintenance? Here are some figures from a very profitable airport - Emerald in Qld where they made a profit of $1.15million before they bought in a raft of new charges (parking for cars & planes, rental parking spot fees). They charge for each car parking spot, hangars, kiosks, parking, landing, vending machines, baggage facilities, businesses etc. Charges for this year:-

 

Every passenger on RPT, communter or charter getting on or off - adults $18.00, half price or less (eg children) $9.00. For example a RPT disembarks 40 pax and departs with 30 + 10 kids = 70 x $18 + 10x$9 = $1,350. Passenger screening, contract +10%

 

Landing fee per tonne - RPT $11.50, GA $9 (my C152 = $6.75), ultralights $5.75 each. Annual fees GA $239, flying school $415, Ultralights $160. Fees are collected by the Council rather than through AvData. Employees record the call sign and post a bill to the operator. I assume they catch Ultralights as they land.

 

Aircraft Parking >4hrs $9/day

 

The same Council closed the Blackwater airstrip to RPTs (it is still open to charter and private ops - it is owned by the mine) as they estimated the charge per passenger would be $120/person - so Qantas Link passengers have to travel to Emerald to catch a flight.

 

These airstrips attact Govt grants and funding for expansion and services. You can look up your local council's fees on their websites.
