Civil aircraft: Certifications 

required. 

(a) Except as provided in § 91.715, no 

person may operate a civil aircraft un-
less it has within it the following: 

(1) An appropriate and current air-

worthiness certificate. Each U.S. air-
worthiness certificate used to comply 
with this subparagraph (except a spe-
cial flight permit, a copy of the appli-
cable operations specifications issued 
under § 21.197(c) of this chapter, appro-
priate sections of the air carrier man-
ual required by parts 121 and 135 of this 
chapter containing that portion of the 
operations specifications issued under 
§ 21.197(c), or an authorization under

tion number assigned to the aircraft

fication number before 10 days after

craft. A revised airworthiness certifi-
cate having on it an assigned special 
identification number, that has been 
affixed to an aircraft, may only be ob-
tained upon application to the respon-
sible Flight Standards office. 

(2) An effective U.S. registration cer-

tificate issued to its owner or, for oper-
ation within the United States, the 
second copy of the Aircraft registra-
tion Application as provided for in 
§ 47.31(c), a Certificate of Aircraft reg-
istration as provided in part 48, or a 
registration certification issued under 
the laws of a foreign country.
