Current principles of aircraft nationality are reflected in the  Convention on International Civil Aviation ( “Chicago Convention”). Pursuant to the Chicago Convention. Standards for Aircraft Nationality and Registration Marks were first adopted by the Council on 8 February 1949 pursuant to the provisions of Article 37 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago 1944) and designated as Annex 7 to the Convention. They became effective on 1 July 1949. Civil Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka

3. Introduction An  aircraft registration  is a code unique to a single aircraft, required by international convention to be marked on the exterior of every civil aircraft. The registration indicates the aircraft's country of registration. This code must also appear in its Certificate of Registration, issued by the relevant civil aviation authority  An aircraft can only have one registration, in one jurisdiction, though it is changeable over the life of the aircraft.

When entered in a flight plan, the dash is omitted (for example, YRBMA). In some countries that use a number suffix rather than letters.

9. Aeroplane . A power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft, deriving its lift in flight chiefly from aerodynamic reactions on surfaces, which remain, fixed under given conditions of flight. Airship . A power-driven lighter-than-air aircraft. Balloon . A non-power-driven lighter-than-air aircraft. Glider . A non-power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft, deriving its lift in flight chiefly from aerodynamic reactions on surfaces, which remain, fixed under given conditions of flight. Gyroplane . A heavier-than-air aircraft supported in flight by the reactions of the air on one or more rotors which rotate freely on substantially vertical axes. Helicopter . A heavier-than-air aircraft supported in flight chiefly by the reactions of the air on one or more power-driven rotors on substantially vertical axes. Ornithopter . A heavier-than-air aircraft supported in flight chiefly by the reactions of the air on planes to which a flapping motion is imparted. Rotorcraft . A power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft supported in flight by the reactions of the air on one or more rotors. Remotely piloted aircraft (RPA). An unmanned aircraft which is piloted from a remote pilot station . Civil Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka Heavier-than-air aircraft .
