             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 Sec. Sec. 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.
