Procedure details

The aircraft register is the official list of all aircraft licensed to fly in the Federal Republic of Germany.

You can apply for entry in the aircraft register before admission to traffic if you have a legitimate interest in doing so. However, this does not constitute an admission to traffic.

The aircraft for which you wish to apply for pre-registration must not be registered in another foreign state aircraft register.

You must provide details of the aircraft and the location of the aircraft for the advance registration. You must also justify your application.

With a prior registration, it is possible, for example, to encumber your aircraft with liens and have it entered in the register of liens on aircraft.
