- From the security agreement or lease, the aircraft and engine specifications and the parties’ registry details, build the registration schedule: each airframe, engine and helicopter by manufacturer, model and serial number, the PPSR registrations to be made with their collateral class and serial numbers, and the International Registry registrations and consents required from each party, and flag any serial number that differs between documents.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer confirms which interests are registrable on each register, checks each serial number against the aircraft’s own records, confirms the parties have the registry access and consents needed, and confirms each registration was made correctly before funds are released.
