Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificate Application

This information collection is mandatory in order to obtain a Dealer’s Aircraft Registration Certificate. The Aircraft Registry collects the minimum amount of information necessary (i.e. name, mailing/business address, phone number, signature, title, date, type of business, and type of registration). The information collected on the Dealer’s Aircraft Registration Certificate Application, AC Form 8050-5, is for any individual or company engaged in manufacturing, distributing, or selling aircraft and wants to fly those aircraft with a dealer’s registration certificate in lieu of obtaining a certificate of aircraft registration. The information collected is maintained in a database for recordkeeping purposes. An Examiner in the Aircraft Registry reviews the application to ensure it is complete and properly filled out. If the application is correct, the Examiner issues the number of dealer’s certificates requested and mails them to the dealer. Certificates are valid for one year, therefore, a dealer must reapply each year. As with all information collected by the Aircraft Registry this information is available to the public upon request.
