Dear Mr. Rothwell: 

Exemption No. 9292A 

800 Independence Ave .. SW 

Washington. D.C. 20591 

Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2001-11043 

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition to extend Exemption No. 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 behalf ofDassault Falcon Jet Corporation (Dassault) for an extension of Exemption 

No. 9292, as amended. This exemption from§§ 47.65 and 47.69(b) of Title 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 of the petition 

in the Federal Register because the requested extension of the exemption would not set a 

precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to Dassault. 

AFS-12-176-E 
Our Decision 

The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption 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 CFR part 45. 

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. Dassault 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. 

The Effect of Our Decision 

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

Our decision extends the termination date of Exemption No. 9292, as amended, to May 31, 

2014, unless sooner superseded or rescinded. 

All conditions and limitations of Exemption No. 5315, as amended, remain the same. This 

letter must be attached to, and is a part of, Exemption No. 53.15. 

Sincerely,

GRANT OF EXEMPTION 

By letter dated January 10, 1991, Matthew A. 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 4 7. 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 United St: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. With()Ut inte:dot furni~hing, certain avioniCS 

eq~{pm¢nt and exterior pa:int). ·Pursuant. to contracts between FJC and, 

Dassault, · FJG purchases· ::llid takes title' to· t:he "green" aircraft from Dapsault 

in France for fubire sa.ie to ~F.JC's customers .under the Dassault/FJC Falcon 

Distributorship Agre.emerit. pnte title to each 'tgr~en11 aircraft has pa.ssed in 

France .and FJ'Q has registel;'e<i the airc:t:'aft with .iiJ.e FAA; FJC pilots ferry the 

aircraft trans..:Atiantic to FJC's completion facility in Little Rock, Arkans~s. 

Upori ardval, the alrcra1=t enter into a 12:...24 week c()mpletion cycle during 

which t:he aircraft are outfitted withavionics equipment; furnishing, 

finishes I and exterior .pa:i,rit in accordance with FJC's customer specifications. 

Upon completion, the aircraf:t are test. flown aj;J.d .then are either delivered to 

FJC's customers, entered into FJC's inventory for future sale or entered into 

service as FJG 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 

reguiar basis. As a result, FJC is often called upori to perform international 

demonstration flights in order to display the capabilities of their aircraft 

-fot--pr'cftfpe·ctive·-customers ·prior to--sale·;-· · · · ··- ... ·-- ..... -· · ·- - ·· · · ·· - -- . - -· 
' ,; { . 

.. ·.··: 

3 

An exemption from S~ction 47.69(b) of the FAR would allow FJC to ferry fly the 

"green" aircraft from France and p~rfotm international demonstration flights. 

The·exemptiori.~ will not affect the ievel of safety ctirrently required by the 

FAA's rU.lesand regulations since the relief requested does not directly nor 

indirectly involve safety related matters. . 

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),· ~d··~ubject to rulemaking in process, Falcon Jet Corporation 

is granted: · · 

a. An exemption from Section 47;65 of the FAR to the extent ne¢essary to 

obtain a J)ealer' s Aircraft Registration Certificate without meeting . 

citizenship requiJ;-einerits. This exemption is effective imniediately. and .remains 

iri. effect unless. superseded or rescinded. Falcon Jet Corporation will be 

issued a Dealer's Aircraft Registration certificate upon receipt of a 

completed Application for Dealer's.Aircraft Registration Certificate and the 

required fee. . 

b. An exemp1:ion.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~aft must be owned by Falcon Jet Corporation; 

(2) The a.ircraftmU.st have a temporary registration number or art 

assigned registration[lu,mber affixed as provided by Part _45 of.the FAR; . . 

(3) wh.eil. the aircraft does not have a standard airworthiness 

certificate, permission of the h~st 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 cine year after the aii·craft 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; 
i r. 

4 

A copy of this exemption must be carried in each aircraft operated outside the 

United States. The aircra.ft is hereby certified to be registered in 

accordance with the laws of the United States. Unless sooner superseded or 

rescinded, this Exemption expires on Mi=l.Y 30, 1993. ·
