Sec. 47.33  Aircraft not previously registered anywhere.

    (a) A person who is the owner of an aircraft that has not been 
registered under the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, under other law of 
the United States, or under foreign law, may register it under this part 
if he--
    (1) Complies with Secs. 47.3, 47.7, 47.8, 47.9, 47.11, 47.13, 47.15, 
and 47.17, as applicable; and
    (2) Submits with his application an aircraft Bill of Sale, AC Form 
8050-2, signed by the seller, an equivalent bill of sale, or other 
evidence of ownership authorized by Sec. 47.11.
    (b) If, for good reason, the applicant cannot produce the evidence 
of ownership required by paragraph (a) of this section, he must submit 
other evidence that is satisfactory to the Administrator. This other 
evidence may be an affidavit stating why he cannot produce the required 
evidence, accompanied by whatever further evidence is available to prove 
the transaction.
    (c) The owner of an amateur-built aircraft who applies for 
registration under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section must describe 
the aircraft by class (airplane, rotorcraft, glider, or balloon), serial 
number, number of seats, type of engine installed, (reciprocating, 
turbopropeller, turbojet, or other), number of engines installed, and 
make, model, and serial number of each engine installed; and must state 
whether the aircraft is built for land or water operation. Also, he must 
submit as evidence of ownership an affidavit giving the U.S. 
identification number, and stating that the aircraft was built from 
parts and that he is the owner. If he built the aircraft from a kit, the 
applicant must also submit a bill of sale from the manufacturer of the 
kit.
    (d) The owner, other than the holder of the type certificate, of an 
aircraft that he assembles from parts to conform to the approved type 
design, must describe the aircraft and engine in the manner required by 
paragraph (c) of this section, and also submit evidence of ownership 
satisfactory to the Administrator, such as bills of sale, for all major 
components of the aircraft.
