ing a fireproof identification plate
that—
(1) Includes the information specified
in § 45.13 using an approved method of
fireproof marking;
(2) Must be secured in such a manner
that it will not likely be defaced or re-
moved during normal service, or lost or
destroyed in an accident; and
(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
that it will not likely be defaced or re-
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)

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).

7, 1988. The owner or operator of an air-
craft manufactured before March 7,
1988 must mark the aircraft by attach-

must be secured at an accessible exte-
rior or interior location near an en-
trance, if the model designation and
builder’s serial number are also dis-
played on the exterior of the aircraft
fuselage. The model designation and
builder’s serial number must be—

panies the engine at the time of manu-
facture of the engine.

ble provision of § 34.7 (a)(1), (a)(4), (b),

powerplant record that accompanies
the engine from the time of manufac-
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
applicable provision of § 34.7(h) of this
chapter; the designation must be noted
in the permanent powerplant record
that accompanies the engine from the
time of its manufacture.
(v) The designation EXCEPTED
SPARE indicates that the engine has
been excepted pursuant to the applica-
ble provision of § 34.9(b) of this chapter;
