CHAPTER I--FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
 
PART 47--AIRCRAFT REGISTRATION--Table of Contents
 
                           Subpart A--General
 
Sec. 47.5  Applicants.

    (a) A person who wishes to register an aircraft in the United States 
must submit an Application for Aircraft Registration under this part.
    (b) An aircraft may be registered only by and in the legal name of 
its owner.
    (c) Section 501(f) of the Act (49 U.S.C. 1401(f)), provides that 
registration is not evidence of ownership of aircraft in any proceeding 
in which ownership by a particular person is in issue. The FAA does not 
issue any certificate of ownership or endorse any information with 
respect to ownership on a Certificate of Aircraft Registration. The FAA 
issues a Certificate of Aircraft Registration to the person who appears 
to be the owner on the basis of the evidence of ownership submitted 
pursuant to Sec. 47.11 with the Application for Aircraft Registration, 
or recorded at the FAA Aircraft Registry.
    (d) In this part, ``owner'' includes a buyer in possession, a 
bailee, or a lessee of an aircraft under a contract of conditional sale, 
and the assignee of that person.
