CHAPTER I--FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
 
PART 47--AIRCRAFT REGISTRATION--Table of Contents
 
            Subpart B--Certificates of Aircraft Registration
 
Sec. 47.31  Application.


    (a) Each applicant for a Certificate of Aircraft Registration must 
submit the following to the FAA Aircraft Registry--
    (1) The original (white) and one copy (green) of the Aircraft 
Registration Application, AC Form 8050-1;
    (2) The original Aircraft Bill of Sale, ACC Form 8050-2, or other 
evidence of ownership authorized by Secs. 47.33, 47.35, or 47.37 (unless 
already recorded at the FAA Aircraft Registry); and
    (3) The fee required by Sec. 47.17.

The FAA rejects an application when any form is not completed, or when 
the name and signature of the applicant are not the same throughout.
    (b) After he complies with paragraph (a) of this section, the 
applicant shall carry the second duplicate copy (pink) of the Aircraft 
Registration Application, AC Form 8050-1, in the aircraft as temporary 
authority to operate it without registration. This temporary authority 
is valid until the date the applicant receives the certificate of the 
Aircraft Registration, AC Form 8050-3, or until the date the FAA denies 
the application, but in no case for more than 90 days after the date the 
applicant signs the application. If by 90 days after the date the 
applicant signs the application, the FAA has neither issued the 
Certificate of Aircraft Registration nor denied the application, the FAA 
aircraft Registry issues a letter of extension that serves as authority 
to continue to operate the aircraft without registration while it is 
carried in the aircraft.
    (c) Paragraph (b) of this section applies to each application 
submitted

under paragraph (a) of this section, and signed after October 5, 1967. 
If, after that date, an applicant signs an application and the second 
duplicate copy (pink) of the Aircraft Registration Application, AC Form 
8050-1, bears an obsolete statement limiting its validity to 30 days, 
the applicant may strike out the number ``30'' on that form, and insert 
the number ``90'' in place thereof.
