 Exemption No. 10785

 Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2013-0249

Mr. Antonio Jorge Del Grosso

President

Angel Wing Aviation Inc.

4252 Prairie View Dr.

Sarasota, FL 34232

Dear Mr. Grosso:

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your request for exemption. It transmits our 

decision, explains its basis, and gives you the conditions and limitations of the exemption, 

including the date it ends.

The Basis for Our Decision

By letter dated March 11, 2013, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on 

behalf of Angel Wing Aviation, Inc. (Angel Wing) for an exemption from § 47.65 of Title 14, 

Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) to the extent necessary to allow Angel Wing to obtain 

a Dealer’s Aircraft Registration Certificate, AC Form 8050-6, without meeting the U.S. 

citizenship requirements. You stated that you are an American company which is engaged in 

the sales of used aircraft. Your president is Brazilian. Angel Wing trades with Brazilian 

customers who purchase aircraft in the United States, and the Brazilian aviation agency, 

ANAC, has requested that you obtain a Dealer’s Aircraft Registration Certificate for the 

import process.

The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition 

in the Federal Register because the requested exemption would not set a precedent, and any 

delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to Angel Wing.

The FAA has issued grants of exemption in circumstances similar in all material respects to 

those presented in your petition. In Grant of Exemption No. 6717 (copy enclosed), the FAA 

found that the issuance of a Dealer’s Aircraft Registration Certificate would facilitate the 

petitioner’s operation by eliminating the requirement to obtain a certificate of aircraft 
2

registration for each aircraft and, thus, enable them to test and demonstrate 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. 

Having reviewed your reasons for requesting an exemption, I find that—

• they are similar in material respects to relief previously requested in the enclosed Grant of 

Exemption No. 6717;

• the reasons stated by the FAA for granting the enclosed Grant of Exemption No. 6717

also apply to the situation you present; and 

• a grant of exemption is in the public interest.

Our Decision

Under the authority contained in 49 U.S.C. 40113 and 44701, which the FAA Administrator 

has delegated to me, I hereby grant Angel Wing Aviation, Inc., an exemption from 

14 CFR § 47.65 to the extent necessary to obtain a Dealer’s Aircraft Registration Certificate 

without meeting citizenship requirements, subject to the conditions and limitations described 

below.

Conditions and Limitations 

1. This exemption pertains to citizenship requirements only. Angel Wing must 

adhere to all other requirements and limitations of the Dealer’s Aircraft 

Registration Certificate as stated in Part 47, Subpart C – Dealer’s Aircraft 

Registration Certificate. 

2. Operation of aircraft registered under a Dealer’s Aircraft Registration Certificate is 

limited to flights within the United States. The operation of aircraft outside the 

United States requires an aircraft registration certificate issued under 14 CFR 

§ 47.31. 

3. Angel Wing will be issued a Dealer’s Aircraft Registration Certificate upon receipt 

of a completed Dealer’s Aircraft Registration Application, the required fee, and a 

certified true copy of the Articles or Certificate of Incorporation.

This exemption terminates on May 31, 2018, unless sooner superseded or rescinded.

Sincerely,

/s/

John M. Allen
