Once an aircraft (aircraft) is entered (registered) in the aircraft register, it is a registered property. Then it can also be mortgaged. As long as an aircraft is not registered property, only a lien can be established on it.
Because a bank or other lender in many cases likes a mortgage right on a registry property more than a lien, the interest payable will in many cases be lower if a mortgage right is established. For example, the purchase of an aircraft can be financed with a money loan. A mortgage can then be given as security for performance, with the aircraft serving as collateral.
The mortgage right is established by notarial deed. A copy of this deed is registered in the land register.
When the loan is repaid, it is often assumed that this automatically cancels the mortgage. This is not the case. Like establishing a mortgage, establishing that the mortgage has lapsed also requires a notarial deed. It is therefore important to ask us to cancel the mortgage at the land registry after the redemption, so that everyone can see that the plane is no longer encumbered.
