I struggle to find the IR and AMC describing the conditions for aircraft registration.

Can an aircraft be registered in member state A, have its CAMO in member state B and the principal place of business of the operator (non-carrier) is in member state C?

What changes if the operator has its own AOC? It needs to have an approval iaw Part-CAMO and can subcontract the tasks to another CAMO in a another member state but what about the aircraft registration? Does it need to be the same member state the AOC holder has its principal place of business?

I searched in both 965/2012 and 1321/2014 and did not find any specific regulations on this subject.

1. An AOC is required to have either a Part-CAMO approval or a contract with an approved CAMO which forms part of the same air carrier business grouping as per 1321/2014 M.A.201 (e),(ea). The CAMO within an AOC may opt to subcontract some tasks to another CAMO, however these tasks remain the responsibility of the AOC's CAMO and the subcontracted CAMO organisation will work under the management system of the AOC's CAMO.

2. An aircraft registered under one member state maybe operated within an AOC of another member state, however the acceptance is at the discretion of the competent authorities of the AOC and the aircraft register. An ICAO Article 83 bis agreement is required to be established between the competent authorities.
