What must be done with the back of the Certificate of Registration (C of R) when the aircraft is sold?

When an aircraft is sold, it is necessary to complete the back of the Certificate of Registration (C of R) and submit it to Transport Canada. This process is crucial as it informs the aviation authority of the change in ownership, which ensures that the registration records are updated accurately. By doing so, the new owner can register the aircraft in their name without any legal issues that might arise from retaining outdated ownership information.

This action also helps maintain the integrity of the aviation registry, allowing for more reliable tracking of aircraft ownership, which is essential for safety and regulatory compliance. When ownership changes are properly documented, it minimizes the risk of potential disputes regarding the aircraft's title or associated liabilities.
