Subject: Petition for an Exemption from Requirements of 14 CFR 47.69 (b) Permitting Restricted 

Use of Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificates Outside of the United States 

Reference: 1.) Raytheon Aircraft Company Exemptions 6758, 7241, 7241A 

Dear Sir: 

2.) Beech Aircraft Corporation Exemptions 5125, 5125A, 5125B, 5125C 

3.) Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Exemption 9510, 9510A 

In accordance with 14 CFR Part 11.63, Beechcraft Corporation (BC) requests an exemption from the 

requirements of 14 CFR 47.69 (b), which states: "A Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificate is valid only in 

connection with use of aircraft- (b) Within the United States, except when used to deliver to a foreign 

purchaser an aircraft displaying a temporary registration number and carrying an airworthiness certificate on 

which that number is written;" 

Beechcraft Corporation has been issued such exemptions in the past, as listed in Reference 1, 2, and 3. The 

exemption Beechcraft Corporation is now requesting is similar in nature, applicability, and scope to these past 

exemptions, as well as exemptions granted to other members of the general aviation industry. 

The granting of this request will not adversely affect safety, and will allow Beechcraft Corporation to use 

Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificates outside the United States for flight testing, sales demonstrations, 

and marketing ofBeechcraft Corporation products. Additionally, the public interest will be served by 

increasing international awareness of U.S. general aviation products and technology. Resulting foreign 

aircraft sales will help improve the U.S. balance of trade. 

Beech craft Corporation was issued Dealer's Registration Certificate Number D002889. 

Beechcraft Corporation agrees to abide by reasonable and customary conditions and limitations imposed by 

the granting of this request. Such limitations and conditions imposed in past exemptions included: 

1 . Beechcraft Corporation must own the aircraft; 

2. The aircraft must have temporary registration number or an assigned registration number affixed 

as provided in 14 CFR part 45; 
940-2014-00214 

r.,.._. - ·.• Page 2 of2 

3. Beech craft Corporation must keep records of each international flight for one year after the 

aircraft returns to the United States. Such records must contain the following information: 

a. Registrations number and Manufacturer's serial number; 

b. Dates of departure and return to the Unites States, and 

c. General overseas itinerary. 

4. A copy of the exemption must be carried in each aircraft operated outside the United States 

under the privileges of the exemption. 

Sincerely, 

BEECH CRAFT CORPORATION
