Section 7.2 of the Regulations refer to three “criteria” 58 specified in ArticleXX(1) of the Protocol as those required for a “priority search” and, by implication, a registration.59
The three components of the search criterion 60 specified in the Protocol are the
name of the aircraft object manufacturer, the manufacturer’s serial number and the model designation.61
