§ 44103.
Registration of aircraft
(a)
General
.—
(1)
On application of the owner of an aircraft that meets the requirements of
section 44102 of this title
, the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration shall—
(A)
register the aircraft; and
(B)
issue a certificate of registration to its owner.
(2)
The Administrator may prescribe the extent to which an aircraft owned by the holder of a dealer’s certificate of registration issued under
section 44104(2) of this title
also is registered under this section.
(b)
Controlled Substance Violations
.—
(1)
The Administrator may not issue an owner’s certificate of registration under subsection (a)(1) of this section to a person whose certificate is revoked under
section 44106 of this title
during the 5-year period beginning on the date of the revocation, except—
(A)
as provided in
section 44106(e)(2) of this title
; or
(B)
that the Administrator may issue the certificate to the person after the one-year period beginning on the date of the revocation if the Administrator decides that the aircraft otherwise meets the requirements of
section 44102 of this title
and that denial of a certificate for the 5-year period—
(i)
would be excessive considering the nature of the offense or the act committed and the burden the denial places on the person; or
(ii)
would not be in the public interest.
(2)
A decision of the Administrator under paragraph (1)(B)(i) or (ii) of this subsection is within the discretion of the Administrator. That decision or failure to make a decision is not subject to administrative or judicial review.
(c)
Certificates as Evidence
.—
A certificate of registration issued under this section is—
(1)
conclusive evidence of the nationality of an aircraft for international purposes, but not conclusive evidence in a proceeding under the laws of the United States; and
(2)
not evidence of ownership of an aircraft in a proceeding in which ownership is or may be in issue.
(d)
Certificates Available for Inspection
.—
An operator of an aircraft shall make available for inspection a certificate of registration for the aircraft when requested by a United States Government, State, or local law enforcement officer.
