§ 91.863
Transfers of Stage 2 airplanes
with base level.
(a) Stage 2 airplanes may be trans-
ferred with or without the cor-

level may not be transferred without
the corresponding number of Stage 2
airplanes.
(b) No portion of a U.S. operator’s
base level established under § 91.861(a)
may be used for operations by a foreign
air carrier. No portion of a foreign air
carrier’s base level established under
§ 91.861(b) may be used for operations
by a U.S. operator.
(c) Whenever a transfer of Stage 2
airplanes with base level occurs, the
transferring and acquiring parties
shall, within 10 days, jointly submit
written notification of the transfer to
the FAA, Office of Environment and
Energy. Such notification shall state:
(1) The names of the transferring and
acquiring parties;
(2) The name, address, and telephone

for submitting the notification on be-
half of the transferring and acquiring
parties;
(3) The total number of Stage 2 air-
planes transferred, listed by airplane
type, model, series, and serial number;
(4) The corresponding amount of base
level transferred and whether it is U.S.
operator or foreign air carrier base
level; and
(5) The effective date of the trans-
action.
(d) If, taken as a whole, a transaction
or series of transactions made pursuant
to this section does not produce an in-
crease or decrease in the number of
Stage 2 airplanes for either the acquir-
ing or transferring operator, such
transaction or series of transactions
may not be used to establish compli-
ance with the requirements of § 91.865.
