⚖ PRODUCT SPECIFICATION

What You Get

Pass your next Transport Canada ramp check or annual inspection with registration marks that meet CARs Standard 222 from the moment they're applied. These Transport Canada aircraft registration decals are precision-cut to the required 30 cm minimum letter height, printed on industrial-grade vinyl, and ready to install — no sign shop, no guesswork, no last-minute scramble before a flight review.

  • Custom-cut registration letters meeting CARs Standard 222 (30 cm minimum height) for your specific C- registration
  • High-contrast colour options to satisfy contrast requirements against your aircraft's fuselage or wing finish
  • Industrial-grade vinyl, manufacturer-rated up to 7 years, built for UV exposure and high-speed airflow on active aircraft
  • Complete application kit: transfer tape, squeegee, and step-by-step instructions included
  • Made in Canada — printed and shipped from Ontario

How It Works

Order with your aircraft's registration mark and your preferred colour combination. We cut each set to exact specification and ship it ready to apply. The included instructions walk you through surface prep, alignment, and squeegee technique — the same process used by professional sign installers. Most pilots complete the install in under an hour.

  • Submit your registration letters and fuselage colour at checkout
  • Each decal is precision-cut and weeded — peel, position, and press
  • Transfer tape holds letter spacing during application so your marks go on straight and centred
  • Use the included placement guide to confirm fuselage location, height, and contrast compliance before you commit

Why It Works

A generic vinyl supplier can cut letters — getting the spec right is a different matter. CARs Standard 222 sets specific requirements for letter height, stroke width, and contrast. Our decals are designed to those requirements, not approximated to them. The premium cast vinyl, manufacturer-rated up to 7 years, holds up through Canadian winters, summer UV, rain, and the airflow stress at cruise speed. And because the kit comes with everything needed for a clean install, the finished result looks like a professional shop applied it — because the materials are the same ones a professional shop would use.

  • Meets CARs Standard 222 letter height and stroke width requirements — reduces risk of violations during ramp checks and annual inspections
  • Premium cast vinyl, manufacturer-rated up to 7 years, withstands UV, moisture, and high-speed airflow on active aircraft
  • Included application kit delivers a clean, professional result without paying sign-shop labour rates
  • Placement guide covers fuselage positioning and colour contrast so you can confirm compliance before the inspector does

If your aircraft is due for inspection or your current marks are fading, order your Transport Canada aircraft registration decals today — we ship to private pilots, flight schools, and commercial operators across Canada.
