According to the Italian Navigation Code, an aircraft can be removed from the National Aircraft Registry (N.A.R.) if:
- the ownership of the aircraft is transferred to a non-EU citizen or company
- the owner wants to register the aircraft in the registry of another EU member State
- the operator of an aircraft registered according to art. 756 para.2 of the Navigation Code, has returned the aircraft to the owner
- the aircraft is destroyed
- the aircraft has been scrapped
The ownership of the aircraft is transferred to a NON-EU citizen or company
Exclusively in this case, the Italian Navigation Code imposes an obligation to advertize that the aircraft is going to be canceled. This notice must be published for 60 days. During this period, potential creditors of the registered owner can claim their rights and the aircraft shouldn’t be canceled. If within the above terms no formal objection is promoted, the aircraft will be canceled at the expiring of the period.
In case of urgency, the deregistration is immediately effective if the owner entrusts a guarantee in favor of ENAC equal to the value of the aircraft; this value is established by an Expert appointed by ENAC. If no formal objection is promoted, the guarantee is released after 120 days from the publication of the notice.
