Transition aircraft
What is a transition aircraft?
A transition aircraft is a new or used aircraft that will be transferred from a foreign register, or in case of a new aircraft from the manufacturer, to another foreign register using the Austrian register for various purposes. These purposes can be, but are not limited to, maintenance, parking/storage and non-commercial flights with the purpose of flying the aircraft to a maintenance facility or to perform a functional test or demonstration flight. While being registered in the Republic of Austria, a Certificate of Airworthiness shall be issued.
After this period, the aircraft will be either exported to a non-EASA member state or transferred within the EASA environment.
