Regulatory Requirements
Required under CARs Standard 222. All Canadian-registered aircraft must display C-FXXX or C-GXXX registration marks. Transport Canada conducts ramp inspections — unmarked aircraft may be grounded.
Canadian aircraft registration: C- followed by F or G and 3 letters. Found on your Certificate of Registration.
We confirm your text and layout before cutting. No payment until you approve your proof.
Aircraft Registration Compliance
Every Canadian-registered aircraft must display its registration marks clearly on the fuselage. This is not optional. Whether you fly C-GXXX or C-FXXX, your markings must meet specific height and contrast requirements to pass inspection. Missing or illegible marks lead to grounded aircraft during ramp checks. We provide precision-cut decals designed to meet the exact specifications required by Transport Canada to keep you in the air.
Who Needs This
Private pilots, flight schools, and commercial operators in Canada. If you operate under Canadian Aviation Regulations, you need legible, high-contrast registration marks. This kit is for owners who cannot risk a violation during an annual air-worthiness inspection or a surprise Transport Canada audit.
What You Get
Each kit contains precision-cut aircraft registration mark decals. We use industrial-grade, 7-year outdoor-rated vinyl to ensure durability against UV exposure and high-speed airflow. Your order includes the registration decals, transfer tape, a professional squeegee, and clear application instructions. Every set is cut with sharp edges to ensure a clean, professional finish on your fuselage or vertical tail surface.
Regulation Backing
All decals are manufactured to comply with CARs Standard 222. Specifically, CARs Standard 222.01(1)(a) requires a minimum letter height of 30 cm (12 inches) on the fuselage. CARS Standard 222.01(3) mandates that markings must contrast sharply with the background color. Failure to maintain legible marks is a violation under the Aeronautics Act.
Produced by the makers at TJ Jacques in Niagara, Ontario. We know the law because we follow it.
