plication, AC Form 8050–1, and on any
evidence submitted with the applica-
tion. There is no charge for the assign-
ment of numbers provided in this para-
graph. This paragraph does not apply
to an aircraft manufacturer who ap-
plies for a group of U.S. registration
numbers under paragraph (c) of this
section; a person who applies for a spe-
cial registration number under para-
graphs (d) through (f) of this section; or
a holder of a Dealer’s Aircraft Reg-
istration Certificate, AC Form 8050–6,

tion number under § 47.16.
(1)
Aircraft not previously registered
anywhere. The applicant must obtain
the U.S. registration number from the
Registry by request in writing describ-
ing the aircraft by make, type, model,
and serial number (or, if it is amateur-
built, as provided in § 47.33(b)) and stat-
ing that the aircraft has not previously
been registered anywhere. If the air-
craft was brought into the United
States from a foreign country, the ap-
plicant must submit evidence that the
aircraft has never been registered in a
foreign country.

registration number that is already as-
signed to the aircraft on the Aircraft
Registration Application, and the sup-
porting evidence. If there is no number
assigned, the applicant must obtain a
U.S. registration number from the Reg-
istry by making a written request that
describes the aircraft by make, model,
and serial number.
(3)
Aircraft last previously registered in
a foreign country. Whether or not the
foreign registration has ended, the ap-
plicant must obtain a U.S. registration
number from the Registry for an air-
craft last previously registered in a for-
eign country, by request in writing de-
scribing the aircraft by make, model,
and serial number, accompanied by—
(i) Evidence of termination of foreign
registration in accordance with
§ 47.37(b) or the applicant’s affidavit
showing that foreign registration has
ended; or
(ii) If foreign registration has not
ended, the applicant’s affidavit stating
that the number will not be placed on
the aircraft until foreign registration
has ended.
(4)
Duration of a U.S. registration num-
ber assignment. Authority to use the
registration number obtained under
paragraph (a)(1), (2), or (3) of this sec-
tion expires 90 days after the date it is
issued unless the applicant submits an
Aircraft Registration Application and
complies with § 47.33 or § 47.37, as appli-
cable, within that period of time. How-
ever, the applicant may obtain an ex-
tension of this 90-day period from the
Registry if the applicant shows that
the delay in complying with that sec-
tion is due to circumstances beyond
the applicant’s control.
(b) A U.S. registration number may
not exceed five symbols in addition to
the prefix letter ‘‘N’’. These symbols
may be all numbers (N10000), one to
four numbers and one suffix letter (N
1000A), or one to three numbers and
two suffix letters (N 100AB). The let-
ters ‘‘I’’ and ‘‘O’’ may not be used. The
first zero in a number must always be
preceded by at least one of the numbers
1 through 9.
(c) An aircraft manufacturer may
apply to the Registry for enough U.S.
registration numbers to supply esti-
mated production for the next 18
months. There is no charge for this al-
location of numbers.
(d) Any available, unassigned U.S.
registration number may be assigned
as a special registration number. An
applicant who wants a special registra-
tion number or wants to change the
registration number of his aircraft may
apply for it to the Registry. The fee re-
quired by § 47.17 must accompany the
application.
(e) [Reserved]
(f) The Registry authorizes a special
registration number change on the As-
signment of Special Registration Num-
bers, AC Form 8050–64. The authoriza-
tion expires one year from the date the
Registry issues an Assignment of Spe-
cial Registration Numbers unless the
special registration number is perma-
nently placed on the aircraft. Within
five days after the special registration
number is placed on the aircraft, the
owner must complete and sign the As-
signment of Special Registration Num-
bers, state the date the number was
placed on the aircraft, and return the
original form to the Registry. The du-
plicate of the Assignment of Special
Registration Numbers and the present
Certificate of Aircraft Registration, AC
Form 8050–3, must be carried in the air-
craft as temporary authority to oper-
ate it. This temporary authority is
valid until the date the owner receives
the revised Certificate of Aircraft Reg-
istration showing the new registration
number, but in no case is it valid for
more than 120 days from the date the
number is placed on the aircraft.
(g) [Reserved]
(h) A special registration number
may be reserved for no more than 1
year. If a person wishes to renew his
reservation from year to year, he must
apply to the Registry for renewal and
submit the fee required by § 47.17 for a
special registration number.
(i) When aircraft registration has
ended, as described in § 47.41(a), the as-
signment of a registration number to
an aircraft is no longer authorized for
use except as provided in § 47.31(c) and
will be cancelled:
(1) Following the expiration date
shown on the Certificate of Aircraft
Registration for any aircraft whose
registration has not been renewed
under § 47.40(c);

istration Certificate, AC Form 8050–6,

cordance with § 47.31; or
(3) When ownership has transferred—
(i) Six months after first receipt of
notice of aircraft sale or evidence of
ownership from the last registered
owner or successive owners, and an
Aircraft Registration Application has
not been received.
(ii) Six months after evidence of own-
ership authorized under § 47.67 has been

(iii) Twelve months after a new
owner has submitted evidence of own-
ership and an Aircraft Registration Ap-
plication under § 47.31, and the appli-
cant or a successive applicant has not
met the requirements of this part.
(j) At the time an assignment of reg-
istration number is cancelled, the num-
ber may be reserved for one year in the
name of the last owner of record if a re-
quest has been submitted with the fee
required by § 47.17. If the request for
reservation and fee are not submitted
prior to cancellation, the registration
number is unavailable for assignment
for a period of five years.

§ 47.16
Temporary registration num-
bers.
(a) Temporary registration numbers
are issued by the FAA to manufactur-
ers, distributors, and dealers who are
holders of Dealer’s Aircraft Registra-
tion Certificates, AC Form 8050–6, for
temporary display on aircraft during
flight allowed under Subpart C of this
part.
(b) The holder of a Dealer’s Aircraft
Registration Certificate may apply to
the Registry for as many temporary
registration numbers as are necessary
for his business. The application must
be in writing and include—
(1) Sufficient information to justify
the need for the temporary registration
numbers requested; and
(2) The number of each Dealer’s Air-
craft Registration Certificate held by
the applicant.
There is no charge for these numbers.
(c) The use of temporary registration
numbers is subject to the following
conditions:
(1) The numbers may be used and re-
used—
(i) Only in connection with the hold-
er’s Dealer’s Aircraft Registration Cer-
tificate;
(ii) Within the limitations of § 47.69
where applicable, including the re-
quirements of § 47.67; and
(iii) On aircraft not registered under
Subpart B of this part or in a foreign
country, and not displaying any other
identification markings.
(2) A temporary registration number
may not be used on more than one air-
craft in flight at the same time.
(3) Temporary registration numbers
may not be used to fly aircraft into the
United States for the purpose of impor-
tation.
(d) The assignment of any temporary
registration number to any person
lapses upon the expiration of all of his
Dealer’s Aircraft Registration Certifi-
cates. When a temporary registration
number is used on a flight outside the
United States for delivery purposes,
the holder shall record the assignment
of that number to the aircraft and
shall keep that record for at least 1
year after the removal of the number
from that aircraft. Whenever the owner
of an aircraft bearing a temporary reg-
istration number applies for an air-
worthiness certificate under Part 21 of
this chapter he shall furnish that num-
ber in the application. The temporary
registration number must be removed
from the aircraft not later than the
date on which either title or possession
passes to another person.
