When you submit this authorisation, you may need to pay a fee. The Director will let you know if a fee is required. You will need to pay this fee when you submit your authorisation.

If the Director receives your submission, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) will record your irrevocable deregistration and export request authorisation on the New Zealand Register of Aircraft, you can find more information about similar rules in the 1990 No 98 s 109 legislation.
