PART 4- AIRCRAFT REGISTRATION AND MARKING


4.1 GENERAL
The term certificate of aircraft registration used in ZCARs Part 4 is the same term as used
in ICAO Annex 7 to denote certificate of registration.
ZCARs Part 4 is written so that the owner of the aircraft is responsible for the aircraft
registration, as contained in the Civil Aviation Act CAP 444 of the Laws of Zambia. The
owner, or operator of the aircraft if different from the owner, is responsible for proper
marking of the aircraft prior to operation.

4.1.1.1 APPLICABILITY
(a) This part prescribes the requirements for registration and marking of Civil Aircraft
under the provisions of the Aviation Act.
(b) This part does not apply to meteorological pilot balloons used exclusively for
meteorological purposes or to unmanned free balloons without a payload.

4.1.1.2 DEFINITIONS
(a) For the purpose of Part 4, the following definitions shall apply:
(1) Aeroplane. A power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft, deriving its lift in flight
chiefly from aerodynamic reactions on surfaces which remain fixed under given
conditions of flight.
(2) Aircraft. Any machine that can derive support in the atmosphere from the
reactions of the air other than the reactions of the air against the earth’s surface.
The term “aircraft,” when used under these Regulations shall refer to civil aircraft
only, and will not include State or public aircraft.
(3) Airship. A power-driven lighter-than-air aircraft.
(4) Balloon. A non-power-driven lighter-than-air aircraft.
(5) Common Mark. A mark assigned by the International Civil Aviation Organisation
to the common mark registering authority registering aircraft of an international
operating agency on other than a national basis.

REQUIREMENTS PART 4

(6) Common Mark Registering Authority. The authority maintaining the non-national
register or, where appropriate, the part thereof, in which aircraft of an international
operating agency are registered.
(7) Fireproof Material. A material capable of withstanding heat as well as or better
than steel when the dimensions in both cases are appropriate for the specific
purpose.
(8) Glider. A non-power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft, deriving its lift in flight
chiefly from aerodynamic reactions on surfaces which remain fixed under given
conditions of flight.
(9) Gyroplane. A heavier-than-air aircraft supported in flight by the reactions of the
air on one or more rotors which rotate freely on substantially vertical axes.
(10) Heavier-Than-Air Aircraft. Any aircraft deriving its lift in flight primarily from
aerodynamic forces.
(11) Helicopter. A heavier-than-air aircraft supported in flight chiefly by the reactions
of the air on one or more power-driven rotors on substantially vertical axes.
(12) International Operating Agency. An agency of the kind contemplated in Article 77
of the Convention on International Civil Aviation.
(13) Lighter-Than-Air Aircraft. Any aircraft supported chiefly by its buoyancy in the
air.
(14) Ornithopter. A heavier-than-air aircraft supported in flight chiefly by the reactions
of the air on planes to which a flapping motion is imparted.
(15) Powered Lift. A heavier-than-air aircraft capable of vertical takeoff, vertical
landing, and low speed flight that depends principally on engine-driven lift devices
or engine thrust for lift during these flight regimes and on non-rotating airfoil(s)
for lift during horizontal flight
(16) Rotorcraft. A power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft supported in flight by the
reactions of the air on one or more rotors.
(17) State of Registry. The State on whose register the aircraft is entered.
