(note
that Canada is missing the CG... probably a typo). Not a typo. It lists C and CF as prefixes. C is the current style, and CF the old style still on many airplanes. It gets converted to C-FXXX upon repaint. There are no CG-XXX airplanes. A related funny: Four of five years ago we were flying a 180 to Tucson, via Salt Lake. Here's how the conversation went: Us: "Salt Lake Terminal, Canadian Cessna 180 Charlie Foxtrot India Alpha Charlie 15 miles North at 7500, Southbound for Provo." Them: "Canadian 180 Charlia Indie Alph...." Click. Them: "Canadian 180 Charlie Alphia Ind..." Click. Them: "Canadian 180 Charlia Alphia..." Click. Them: (laughter in background): "Canadian 180, stay east of the highway." Dan Dan |

I beg to differ, as I currently fly a C-Gxxx plane. You can also search the database at the TC site http://www.tc.gc.ca/aviation/activep...e.asp?x_lang=e for available marks, and see that there are plenty of C-G availble. |

Not necessarily. Aircraft built before some cutoff date (1974?) may keep
the CF-XXX style of registration if they wish. I think that you still appear in the TC database as C-FXXX. Here's what CAR 202.03 says: 202.03 (1) Subject to subsection (2), the nationality mark in respect of a Canadian aircraft is the letter "C" and the registration mark in respect of the aircraft is a combination of four letters specified by the Minister. (2) Subject to subsection (3), where an aircraft was registered in Canada before January 1, 1974 or is a vintage aircraft, (a) the nationality mark in respect of the aircraft is the letters "CF" and the registration mark in respect of the aircraft is a combination of three letters specified by the Minister; or (b) the nationality mark in respect of the aircraft is the letter "C" and the registration mark in respect of the aircraft is a combination of four letters specified by the Minister. (3) Where the owner of an aircraft, other than a vintage aircraft, that has the letters "CF" as its nationality mark and a combination of three letters as its registration mark repaints the aircraft, the owner shall, prior to operating the aircraft, change the nationality mark to the letter "C" and the registration mark to the letter "F" followed by the combination of three letters. (4) Where the owner of an aircraft changes its marks pursuant to subsection (3) or the owner of a vintage aircraft changes its nationality mark from "C" to "CF" or from "CF" to "C", followed by the appropriate registration mark, the owner shall, prior to operating the aircraft, notify the Minister in writing of the change, and the Minister shall change the marks accordingly in the Canadian Civil Aircraft Register and issue a new registration certificate to reflect the change. According to section (3), vintage aircraft can keep the old marks. Here's their definition of vintage: "vintage aircraft" - means an aircraft that was manufactured prior to January 1, 1957. (CAR 200.01) You were right: there are exceptions for old airplanes. There are still compassionate people in government! Dan |
