I was wondering if anyone here has ever dealt with Transport Canada, to replace a missing identification plate / data plate from a certified aircraft. The aircraft in question has a full log history (US history + Canadian log history).
You need authorization from TC, then contact the manufacturer to get the physical plate produces. I'm mainly looking for info on how to get the TC authorization. What info do they need? The CAR reference is very short:
I doubt it's just a letter as "Hey, I lost my plate, can I get a new one?"Loss or Theft of or Damage to an Aircraft Identification Plate
201.04 (1) Where an aircraft identification plate is lost, stolen or damaged, the owner of the aircraft shall submit an application in writing to the Minister, including evidence that establishes the identity of the aircraft, for authorization to attach a replacement aircraft identification plate to the aircraft.
(2) On receipt of an application submitted pursuant to subsection (1) that includes evidence that establishes the identity of the aircraft, the Minister shall issue a written authorization to the owner of the aircraft that permits the owner to replace the lost, stolen or damaged aircraft identification plate.
(3) Where an authorization is issued by the Minister pursuant to subsection (2), the owner of the aircraft shall, before the next flight of the aircraft, attach the replacement aircraft identification plate to the aircraft in accordance with subsection 201.01(2) or (3) or section 201.02, as applicable.
Thanks,
