Abstract: This collection is mandatory for any person or entity wishing to register an aircraft. The information is collected and used by the FAA Aircraft Registration Branch (Aircraft Registry) to: 1) maintain documentation of aircraft ownership; 2) register aircraft and issue a registration certificate and; 3) record conveyances affecting an interest in aircraft. Bi-annual reporting of U.S. Flight Hours is also collected from corporations not U.S. citizens to monitor compliance with 14 CFR 47.9. Evidence of ownership information is collected utilizing the: 1) AC Form 8050-2, Aircraft Bill of Sale; 2) AC Form 8050-88, Affidavit of Ownership for Amateur-Built and Other Non-Type Certificated Aircraft; 3) AC Form 8050-88A, Affidavit of Ownership for Light-Sport Aircraft and; 4) AC Form 8050-4, Certificate of Repossession of Encumbered Aircraft. These forms, though their use is not required, are available to use as evidence of ownership to accompany the AC Form 8050-1, Aircraft Registration Application, which must be used for the initial registration when ownership of an aircraft transfers from one entity to another. The AC Form 8050-1B Registration Renewal Application is used for the stated purpose (renewal) every three years following notification to the aircraft owner that their aircraft’s registration is eligible for renewal. If the registration expires, the owner must use the AC Form 8050-1 to apply for reinstatement and may not operate the aircraft until the reinstated registration is accomplished. The AC Form 8050-98, Aircraft Security Agreement may be used by secured parties to record any financial encumbrances against an aircraft and eligible engines, propellers, and spare part locations. The AC Form 8050-117, Flight Hours for Corporations Not U. S. Citizens, is used as bi-annual notification and is then returned with report data from corporations not U.S. citizens for compliance with 14 CFR 47.9 which requires that at least 60% of the aircraft’s flight hours be in U.S. airspace.
