# §47.61. Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificates.

- (a) The FAA issues a Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificate to U.S. manufacturers and dealers to—
  - (1) **Allow manufacturers to make any required flight tests of aircraft.**
  - (2) Facilitate operating, demonstrating, and merchandising aircraft by the manufacturer or dealer without the burden of obtaining a Certificate of Aircraft Registration, AC Form 8050-3, for each aircraft with each transfer of ownership, under [subpart B](/cfr/14/subpartB.md) of this part.
- (b) A Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificate is an alternative for the Certificate of Aircraft Registration issued under subpart B of this part. A dealer may, under this subpart, obtain one or more Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificates in addition to his original certificate, and he may use a Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificate for any aircraft he owns.
- (c) If a Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificate for an aircraft registered under this subpart expires in accordance with [§ 47.71](/cfr/14/47.71.md), the aircraft owner must submit an application for aircraft registration in accordance with [§ 47.31](/cfr/14/47.31.md) or the assignment of registration number will be canceled in accordance with [§ 47.15(i)(2)](/cfr/14/47.15.md?p=i-2).
