that— 

(1) Includes the information specified 

in § 45.13 using an approved method of

(3) Except as provided in paragraphs 

(d) through (h) of this section, must be 
secured to the aircraft fuselage exte-
rior so that it is legible to a person on 
the ground, and must be either adja-
cent to and aft of the rear-most en-
trance door or on the fuselage surface 
near the tail surfaces. 

(b) 

Aircraft engines. A manufacturer 

of an aircraft engine produced under a 
type certificate or production certifi-
cate must mark each engine by attach-

ing a fireproof identification plate. 
Such plate— 

(1) Must include the information 

specified in § 45.13 using an approved 
method of fireproof marking; 

(2) Must be affixed to the engine at 

an accessible location; and 

(3) Must be secured in such a manner

moved during normal service, or lost or 
destroyed in an accident. 

(c) 

Propellers and propeller blades and 

hubs.  Each person who produces a pro-
peller, propeller blade, or propeller hub 
under a type certificate or production 
certificate must mark each product or 
part. Except for a fixed-pitch wooden 
propeller, the marking must be accom-
plished using an approved fireproof 
method. The marking must— 

(1) Be placed on a non-critical sur-

face; 

(2) Contain the information specified 

in § 45.13; 

(3) Not likely be defaced or removed 

during normal service; and 

(4) Not likely be lost or destroyed in 

an accident. 

(d) 

Manned free balloons. A manufac-

turer of manned free balloons must 
mark each balloon by attaching the 
identification plate described in para-
graph (a) of this section. The plate 
must be secured to the balloon enve-
lope and must be located, if prac-
ticable, where it is legible to the oper-
ator when the balloon is inflated. In 
addition, the basket and heater assem-
bly must be permanently and legibly 
marked with the manufacturer’s name, 
part number (or equivalent), and serial 
number (or equivalent).

craft manufactured before March 7, 
1988 must mark the aircraft by attach-
ing the identification plate required by

must be secured at an accessible exte-
rior or interior location near an en-
trance, if the model designation and

played on the exterior of the aircraft 
fuselage. The model designation and

ture of the engine. 

(iii) The designation NON-US indi-

cates that the engine has been granted 
an exemption pursuant to § 34.7(a)(1), 
and the notation ‘‘This aircraft may 
not be operated within the United 
States’’, or an equivalent notation ap-
proved by the FAA, must be inserted in 
the aircraft logbook, or alternate 
equivalent document, at the time of in-
stallation of the engine. 

(iv) The designation EXEMPT NEW 

indicates that the engine has been 
granted an exemption pursuant to the
