14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–14 Edition)
§ 45.31
marks until the aircraft is repainted or
the marks are repainted, restored, or
changed.
(c)
Width. Characters must be two-
thirds as wide as they are high, except
the number ‘‘1’’, which must be one-
sixth as wide as it is high, and the let-
ters ‘‘M’’ and ‘‘W’’ which may be as
wide as they are high.
(d)
Thickness. Characters must be
formed by solid lines one-sixth as thick
as the character is high.
(e)
Spacing. The space between each
character may not be less than one-
fourth of the character width.
(f) If either one of the surfaces au-
thorized for displaying required marks
under § 45.25 is large enough for display
of marks meeting the size require-
ments of this section and the other is
not, full size marks must be placed on
the larger surface. If neither surface is
large enough for full-size marks, marks
as large as practicable must be dis-
played on the larger of the two sur-
faces. If no surface authorized to be
marked by § 45.27 is large enough for
full-size marks, marks as large as prac-
ticable must be placed on the largest of
the authorized surfaces. However, pow-
ered parachutes and weight-shift-con-
trol aircraft must display marks at
least 3 inches high.
(g)
Uniformity. The marks required by
this part for fixed-wing aircraft must
have the same height, width, thick-
ness, and spacing on both sides of the
aircraft.
(h) After March 7, 1988, each operator
of an aircraft penetrating an ADIZ or
DEWIZ must display on that aircraft
temporary or permanent nationality
and registration marks at least 12
inches high.

§ 45.31
Marking of export aircraft.
A person who manufactures an air-
craft in the United States for delivery
outside thereof may display on that
aircraft any marks required by the
State of registry of the aircraft. How-
ever, no person may operate an aircraft
so marked within the United States,
except for test and demonstration
flights for a limited period of time, or
while in necessary transit to the pur-
chaser.
§ 45.33
Sale of aircraft; removal of
marks.
When an aircraft that is registered in
the United States is sold, the holder of
the Certificate of Aircraft Registration
must remove, before its delivery to the
purchaser, all United States marks
from the aircraft, unless the purchaser
is—
(a) A citizen of the United States;
(b) An individual citizen of a foreign
country who is lawfully admitted for
permanent residence in the United
States; or
(c) When the aircraft is to be based
and primarily used in the United
States, a corporation (other than a cor-
poration which is a citizen of the
United States) lawfully organized and
doing business under the laws of the
United States or any State thereof.
