§ 102-33.220 Special disclaimers for non-certificated aircraft operated as public aircraft.

When exchanging/selling non-certificated aircraft, the offering must include the following statement: Warning: This aircraft may not meet FAA requirements. You are responsible for ensuring compliance with 14 CFR and obtaining any required FAA inspections or modifications. The purchaser agrees the Government is not liable for any harm from the aircraft's use or disposal and will hold the Government harmless from related claims. The aircraft may not meet 14 CFR standards and may require inspection before flight. • All civil and public aircraft must have a valid registration issued by the FAA as required by 14 CFR Chapter I. • Civil aircraft must have a valid airworthiness certificate to operate in the U.S. airspace. • The aircraft must conform to its FAA Type Certificate to be eligible for a standard air worthiness certificate. • Aircraft without a valid airworthiness certificate may qualify for a special FAA one-time flight permit for relocation, such as for storage, repair, inspection, or display. Approval is based on the aircraft's safety for flight. • Purchasers of surplus military or foreign aircraft without an FAA Type Certificate may be unable to obtain an airworthiness certificate or special flight permit. • An aircraft with proper maintenance and inspection records simplifies airworthiness determination. Contact your nearest FAA Flight Standards District Office to discuss your responsibilities. Find office locations on the FAA website (http://www.faa.gov/). • When purchasing an aircraft for spare parts and scrapping the airframe, you must declassify the aircraft, complete the registration form, and send it to the FAA.
