In order to initiate a system of registering or reregistering aircraft during any month of the calendar year, the director may register or reregister an aircraft for more or less than a twelve-month period, but for not more than an eighteen-month period, and may prorate the license tax by one-twelfth of the full annual amount for each full month of the registration cycle and shall charge a full registration fee.
E. The director or a registering officer may allow a person who owns two or more aircraft to register or reregister the aircraft for less than one year so that the aircraft's registrations expire on the same date.
