Abstract: This information collection is mandatory for any person or entity wanting 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 for the issuance of a registration certificate and; 3) record conveyances affecting an interest in an aircraft. Bi-annual reporting of U.S. Flight Hours is also collected from corporations that are not considered U.S. citizens to monitor compliance in accordance with 14 CFR 47.9. The information collected is maintained in a database for recordkeeping purposes. As with all information collected by the Aircraft Registry this information is available to the public upon request. Registration and evidence of ownership information is collected utilizing the following forms: 1) 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. 2) The following four forms, though their use is not required, are available to use as evidence of ownership to accompany the AC Form 8050-1: • AC Form 8050-2, Aircraft Bill of Sale • AC Form 8050-88, Affidavit of Ownership for Amateur-Built and Other Non-Type Certificated Aircraft • AC Form 8050-88A, Affidavit of Ownership for Light-Sport Aircraft • AC Form 8050-4, Certificate of Repossession of Encumbered Aircraft 3) 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.) 4) 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. 5) 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 considered 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.
