Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2001-11043

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition to extend ExemptionNo. 9292, as amended. It explains the basis for our decision and describes its effect, and lists the conditions and limitations. The Basis for Our Decision By letter dated January 18,2012, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalfofDassault Falcon Jet Corporation (Dassault) for an extension ofExemption No. 9292, as amended. This exemption from§§ 47.65 and 47.69(b) ofTitle 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) permits Dassault to obtain a Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificate without meeting the United States citizenship requirements and to conduct limited flights outside the United States under this certificate. In your petition, you indicate that there has been no change in the conditions and reasons relative to public interest and safety that were the basis for granting the original exemption (Exemption No. 5315.) The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary ofthe petition in the Federal Register because the requested extension ofthe exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to Dassault.

AFS-12-176-EOur Decision The FAA has determined that thejustification for the issuance ofExemption No. 5315, as amended, remains valid with respect to this exemption. Therefore, under the authority provided by 49 U.S.C. 40113 and§§ 44701, which the FAA Administrator has delegated to me, I grant your petition. Conditions and Limitations 1. The aircraft must be owned by Dassault Falcon Jet Corporation. 2. The aircraft must have a temporary registration number or an assigned registration number affixed as provided by 14 CFRpart 45. 3. When the aircraft does not have a standard airworthiness certificate, permission ofthe host country (countries) must be obtained before flights to or through thatcountry. 4. Dassault shall maintain records ofeach international flight for a period ofone year after the aircraft returns to the United States, and suchrecords to consist of: a) Registration number and manufacturer's serial number; b) Dates ofdeparture and return to the United States; and c) General overseas itinerary. The Effect ofOur Decision A copy ofthis exemption must be carried in each aircraft operated outside the United States. Our decision extends the termination date ofExemptionNo. 9292, as amended, to May 31, 2014, unless sooner superseded or rescinded. All conditions and limitations ofExemptionNo. 5315, as amended, remain the same. This letter must be attached to, and is a part of, Exemption No. 53.15. Sincerely,

Boyle, Vice-President and General Cot:msel 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) topermit petitioner to obtain a Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificate without meeting the United States citizenship requirements**~d** to permit petitioner to conduct limited flights .outside of the United States .under-the certificate. Sectl,ori 47. 65 provides that to be eligibie for a,Dealer's Aircraft Reg:i,stration Certificate, the app.:J..icant must**i:u;~.ve** _ah e_stablished place of business :!-n tll.e Un:i,ted States, 

### n'l'ust be su]?stant_:ially engaged in manufacturing or .selling aircraft; and 

## must_ be 

### a citizen of**t~e** l]nited States as defined by Section 101(16) of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (49 

# u.s .c. 1301). Section 47.69(b) .states; in pe;rtirient 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

· ·(Da1rsau1.tJ·_·ttre··-Frerrch- manufacturer-of--executive--je-t- aircraf-t--marketed-world--

wide under the trade name ''Falcon" (i.e. , Falcon (DA) 10, 20, SO, 200, and 900).• _,1· .l

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**y~ar** of its operCI.tioil in the United States, FJC has sold and delivered over 550 Falcon aircraft, the vast majority of which are operated**i~the** United States.

. . . '

. FJC's headquarters is at East 15 Midland Avenue, Paramus! New Jersey, with 

## a Fixed Base Operation 

### and. aircraft maiJ1:teriance facility at Teterboro ,Airport, Teterboro' New Jersey, and a Fixed Base.operation/ aircraft completion facility f)nd aircraft maintenance facility at Adanis Field,· Little Rock, ArkS,nsas. FJC has no plans to move<any of these operations outside the United States, and they**anticipt:~,te** an increase.in the ntimber of Falcon aircraft it completes' and sells over the coming**ye~rs'.** . . An exemption .from the UnitedSt:ates citizenship. requirements as set forth in FAR Section 47.65 would allow issuance of a Dealer's Aircraft· Registration Certificate in FJC's name and eliminate the requirement to obtain a .. certificate of registration for each**t:~,lrcraft.** This would enable FJC to test, ferry I demonstrate I and deliver aircraft in a more 'timely**manru~r.** It would also benefit the FAA by reducing the n\.imber of applications for**regist~·ation** processed and certificates issued by· the·FAA. · · · In 1980, Part 47 of the. F.ederalAviation Regulations was changed to reflect a Congressional amendment to allow aircraft registration by resident aliens and eligible non..,.citizeri corporatic;ms. The .Congressional legislation did not address dealer certificates nor did the Registry receive W:dtten comments from dealers; therefore, the citizenship requireme11ts for obtaining a Dealer's Aircraft Regfstration Certificate were not changed at that time. All new Falcon model**aircra~~** are**mamt~actured** inFrance by Dassault in a**~green 11**  condition (i,e; 1.
