EXPLANATORY NOTE.
The separate requirement that the nationality of a company chairman be a deciding factor in determining its suitability as a registered aircraft owner is considered to be an unnecessary provision and is removed by this amendment.
The power to exempt some aircraft or their owners from certain registration requirements is seen as a necessary provision in special cases particularly when dealing with aircraft so exempted by other administrations.
