|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | SECTION 1 – PRELIMINARY CONCEPTS AND POINTS | ||
| 1.1 | Scope 1: Objects covered | ||
| 1.1.1 | Aircraft Objects | ||
| 1.1.1.1 | Airframes, aircraft engines and helicopters. Covered, and collectively defined as ‘aircraft objects’. | 2.2 and 3.6 (Main text) 3.8, 3.13, 5.4, 5.7 and 5.13 (Requirements to qualify); 4.31, 5.6 and 5.7 (Definitions) | c art 1(u); p arts I(2)(a)-(c), 1(2)(e) and I(2)(l) |
| 1.1.1.2 | Parts, components and records. ‘Aircraft objects’ (ref. 1.1.1.1) defined as including all parts and components and all data, manuals and records. | 2.39 and 3.10 (Main text) 3.12 (Non coverage); 5.4, 5.7 and 5.13 (Inclusion of components and data / manuals) | p arts I(2)(a)-(b) and I(2)(h) |
| 1.1.2 | 1.1.2 Aircraft, airframes, aircraft engines and helicopters | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1.2.1 | Treated as separate objects. Airframes, aircraft engines and helicopters treated as separate ‘objects’. Ref. 1.1.1.1. | 2.38
and 3.6 (Main text) 3.9, 3.11, 3.72, 4.55, 5.3, 5.5 and 5.7 (Separate objects and international interests); 4.31 (Definition of ‘object’) | c art 1(u); p arts I(2)(a)-(c), 1(2)(e) and I(2)(l) |
| 1.1.2.2 | Treatment of helicopter engines. ‘Aircraft engines’ installed on a ‘helicopter’ are components of that helicopter and when uninstalled such aircraft engines are separate ‘aircraft objects’. | 2.38
and 3.6 (Main text) 3.9 , 3.11, 3.72, 3.99, 4.55, 5.5 and 5.7 (Treatment of helicopter engines); 4.31 (Definition of ‘object’) | c art 1(u); p arts I(2)(b) and I(2)(l) |
| 1.1.2.3 | Registrations pertaining to helicopter engines. Common practice to register ‘international interests’ (ref. 2.2.1) on aircraft engines that are intended for use on a helicopter (ref. 1.1.2.2) regardless of whether they were installed on the helicopter at the time of the ‘agreement’ (ref. 1.1.2); a ‘prospective international interest’ (ref. 2.2.3) may be registered, and becomes an international interest once the aircraft engine is removed. | 2.38
(Main text) 2.61 , 3.9 and 5.5 (Prospective international interest) | p arts I(2)(b) and I(2)(l) |
| 1.2 | Scope 2: Application and connecting factors | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.2.1 | Sphere of Application | ||
| 1.2.1.1 | Conditions of applicability. The five conditions to applicability of the CTC: (1) the parties have entered into an ‘agreement’ (ref. 1.2.2); (2) the agreement relates to an ‘aircraft object’ (ref. 1.1.1); (3) the aircraft object is uniquely identifiable; (4) the agreement complies with the relevant formalities required under the CTC (ref. 1.2.3); and (5) there is a ‘connecting factor’ (ref. 1.2.4). | 2.205 (Main text) | c arts 2, 3, 4 and 7; p art I VII |
