By letter dated January 10, 1991, Matthew A. Boyle, Vice-President and General Counsel of Falcon Jet Corporation (FJG) petitioned. the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for an exemption from Section 47.65 and 47.69(b) of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARS) to permit petitioner to obtain a Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificate without meeting the United States citizenship requirements and to permit petitioner to conduct limited flights

.outside of the United States under· the certificate. Section 47.65 provides that to be**eligibi~** for a.Dealer's Aircraft**Regi~tration** certificate, the applicant must have 

## an established place of business in tlJ.e United States, must 'be su1Jstantially e.ngtif?;ed in manufacturing or selling aircraft, and mustbe a citizen of the 1Jnited Stt1tes as defined by Section 101(16) of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (49 U.S 

### .c. 1301). Section 47.69(b) states; in pertinent part, that: "A Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificate is valid only in connection with the 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." The petitioner's supportive information is as follows: FJC, a Delaware corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dassault Aviation {Da.-s-sault} -ttre--Frerrch-·manufacttirer -of··executive-Je-t-aircra£t--marketed-·world

....-- wide under the trade name ''Falcon" (i.e. , Falcon (DA) 10, 20, SO, 200, and 900).2 By contract, Dassault has appointed FJC as its exclusive distributor of all new Falcon model aircraft sold in the United States and other specified nations. Since 1973, the first full year of its operation in the United States, FJG has sold and delivered over 550 Falcon aircraft, the vast majority of \vhich are operated in the United States. FJG's headquarters is at East 15 Midland Avenue, Paramus, New Jersey, with a Fixed Base Operation and aircraft maintenance facility at Teterboro Airport, Teterboro, New Jersey, and a Fixed Base Operation, aircraft completion facility and aircraft maintenance facility at Adams Field, Little Rock, Arkansas. FJG has no plans to move any of these operations outside the United States, and they anticipate an increase.in the number of Falcon aircraft it completes and sells over the coming years. An exemption from the United States citizenship requirements as set forth in FAR Section 47.65 would allow issuance of a Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificate in FJG's name and eliminate the requirement to obtain a certificate of registration for each aircraft. This would enable FJC to test, ferry, demonstrate, and de·liver aircraft in a more timely manner. It would also benefit the FAA by reducing the number of applications for registration processed and certificates issued by' the FAA. In 1980, Part 47 of the Federal Aviation Regulations was changed to reflect a Congressional amendment to allow aircraft registration by resident aliens and eligible non-citizen corporations. The Congressional legislation did not address dealer certificates nor did the Registry receive written comments from dealers; therefore, the citizenship requirements for obtaining a Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificate were not changed at that time. All new Falcon model aircraft are manufactured in France by Dassault in a**'~green"** condition (i.e., without interior furni§hing, certain avionics equipment and exterior paint). Pursuant to contracts between FJC and Dassault, FJG purchases and takes title to.the "green" aircraft from Dassault in France for future sale to FJC's customers under the Dassault/FJC Falcon Distributorship Agreement. Once title to each "green" aircraft has passed in France and FJC<has registered the aircraft with the FAA, FJC pilots ferry the aircraft trans-Atlantic to FJC's completion facility in Little Rock, Arkansas. Upon arrival, the aircraft enter into a 12-24 week completion cycle during which the aircraft are outfitted with avionics equipment, furnishing, finishes, and exterior paint in accordance with FJC's customer specifications. Upon completion, the aircraft are test flown a1;1.d then are either delivered to FJC's customers, entered into FJC's inventory for future sale or entered into service as FJC demonstrator aircraft. The Falcon 50 and Falcon 900 both have intercontinental range and are used by operators throughout the world for transoceanic and international trips on a regular basis. As a result, FJC is often called upon to perform international demonstration flights in order to display the capabilities of their aircraft foYprcrs-pectiVe·-customers prior to-sale.-···(

3

An exemption from Section 47.69(b) of the FAR would allow FJC to ferry fly the "green" aircraft from France and perform international demonstration flights. The exemptions will not affect the level of safety currently required by the FAA's rules and regulations since the relief requested does not directly nor indirectly involve safety related matt.er's. In consideration of the foregoing, I find that a grant of exemption is in the public interest. Therefore, pursuant to the authority of Section 313(a) of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, delegated to me by the Administrator (14 CFR 11.51), and subject to rulemaking in process, Falcon Jet Corporation is granted:
a. 

### An exemption from Section 47.65 of the FAR to the extent necessary to**obtain~** Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificate without meeting citizenship requirements. This exemption is effective immediately and remains in effect unless superseded or resci"Q.ded. Falcon Jet.·Corporation will be issued a Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificate upon receipt of a comple.ted Application for Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificate and the required fee. b. An exemption.from Section 47.69(b) of the FAR to the extent necessary to permit the use of Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificates outside the United States in connection with· ferry flights of "green" Falcon aircraft from France and for demonstrating, testing, selling, and marketing its aircraft, subject to .the following conditions and limitations: (1)

. The airc:raft must be owned by Falcon Jet Corporation; (2) The aircraft must have a temporary registration number or art assigned registration number affixed as provided by Part 45 of the FAR; (3) When the aircraft does not have a standard airworthiness certificate, permission of the host country (countries) must be obtained before flights to or through that country. (4) Falcon Jet Corporation shall maintain records of each international flight for a period of one year after the aircraft returns to the United States; and such records to consist of: (a) Registration number and manufacturer's serial number; (b) Dates of departure and return to the United States; and (c) General overseas itinerary;

### •

A copy of this exemption must be carried in each aircraft operated outside the United States. The aircraft is hereby certified to be registered in accordance with the laws of the United States. Unless sooner superseded or rescinded, this Exemption expires on May 30, 1993.
