Subpart C—Rules Generally
Applicable
§ 375.19
Nature of privilege conferred.
The provisions of this part, and of
any permit issued hereunder, together
with 49 U.S.C. 41703, are designed,
among other purposes, to carry out the
international undertakings of the
United States in the Chicago Conven-
tion, in particular Article 5. That arti-
cle gives foreign aircraft the privilege
of ‘‘taking on or discharging pas-
sengers, cargo or mail’’ subject to the
right of the State where such embar-
kation or discharge takes place to im-
pose such regulations, conditions or
limitations as it may consider desir-
able. The U.S. Congress by the 1953
amendment to section 6 of the Air
Commerce Act of 1926, now designated
as 49 U.S.C. 41703, authorizes the De-
partment to permit such operations
only where conditions of reciprocity
and the interest of the public in the
United States are met. Thus, the oper-
ator of any foreign registered aircraft
is not entitled as a matter of right to
the issuance, renewal or freedom from
modification or change in a permit
issuable pursuant to this authority.
Accordingly, any authority conferred
by this part may be withheld, revoked,
amended, modified, restricted, sus-
pended, withdrawn, or canceled by the
Department in the interest of the pub-
lic of the United States, without notice
or hearing.

§ 375.20
Airworthiness and registra-
tion certificates.
Foreign civil aircraft shall carry cur-
rently effective certificates of registra-
tion and airworthiness issued or ren-
dered valid by the country of registry

worthiness, an effective special flight

Aviation Administration for the oper-
ations being performed.
§ 375.21
Airmen.
Members of the flight crew of a for-
eign civil aircraft shall have in their
personal possession valid airman cer-
tificates or licenses authorizing them
to perform their assigned functions in
the aircraft and for the operation in-
volved issued or rendered valid by the
country of registry of the aircraft or by
the United States. No such flight crew
members shall perform any flight duty
within the United States that they are
not currently authorized to perform in
the country issuing or validating the
certificate.
§ 375.22
Flight operations.
Flights of foreign civil aircraft in the
United States shall be conducted in ac-
cordance with the currently applicable
rules of the Federal Aviation Adminis-
tration in 14 CFR chapter I.

§ 375.23
Maximum allowable weights.
Foreign civil aircraft that are per-
mitted to navigate in the United
States on the basis of foreign air-
worthiness certificates must conform
to the limitations on maximum certifi-
cated weights prescribed or authorized
for the particular variation of the air-
craft type, and for the particular cat-
egory of use, by the country of manu-
facture of the aircraft type involved.
§ 375.24
Entry and clearance.
All U.S. entry and clearance require-
ments for aircraft, passengers, crews,
baggage and cargo shall be followed.
§ 375.25
Unauthorized operations.
No foreign civil aircraft shall be
navigated in the United States unless
authorized by this part. Commercial
