Each number on its own

The registration mark, the airframe and each engine can each be registered. Each search covers one number.

Which number to search

The registration mark is the nationality code and mark on the aircraft, such as VH-ABC.

The airframe, helicopter and engine serial numbers are on the manufacturer's data plates. Each engine is searched on its own.

Finance can be registered against any of these numbers, and a search finds only the exact number you enter, so search every number you have.

The PPSR doesn't record whether an aircraft is stolen or damaged.
