Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This exemption gives Diamond DA 42 aircraft special permission to bypass certain marking rules under the aviation safety regulations.

Normally, all civil aircraft must display their registration markings (the VH-ABC identifier) following strict federal standards about minimum letter height, width, and how they must be painted. This instrument exempts DA 42 planes from three specific rules—regulations 45.065, 45.070 and paragraph 45.085(2)(c)—which cover the size, painting standards and lateral display requirements for these markings.

The condition: Operators must instead display the lateral markings exactly as instructed in the aircraft's Manufacturer's Maintenance Manual.

Who this affects: Owners and operators of Diamond DA 42 twin-engine aircraft. This provides a compliance alternative when the standard marking rules don't suit this specific aircraft's design or structure.
