§ 91.203 Civil aircraft: Certifications required.
(a) Except as provided in §91.715, no person may operate a
civil aircraft unless it has within it the following:

(1) An appropriate and current airworthiness certificate.
Each U.S. airworthiness certificate used to comply with this
subparagraph (except a special flight permit, a copy of the
applicable operations specifications issued under §21.197(c)
of this chapter, appropriate sections of the air carrier
manual 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 §91.611)
must have on it the registration number assigned to the
aircraft under part 47 of this chapter. However, the
airworthiness certificate need not have on it an assigned
special identification number before 10 days after that
number is first affixed to the aircraft. A revised
airworthiness certificate having on it an assigned special
identification number, that has been affixed to an aircraft,
may only be obtained upon application to an FAA Flight
Standards district office.

(2) An effective U.S. registration certificate issued to its
owner or, for operation within the United States, the second
duplicate copy (pink) of the Aircraft Registration
Application as provided for in §47.31(b), or a registration
certificate issued under the laws of a foreign country.

(b) No person may operate a civil aircraft unless the
airworthiness certificate required by paragraph (a) of this
section or a special flight authorization issued under
§91.715 is displayed at the cabin or cockpit entrance so
that it is legible to passengers or crew.

(c) No person may operate an aircraft with a fuel tank
installed within the passenger compartment or a baggage
compartment unless the installation was accomplished
pursuant to part 43 of this chapter, and a copy of FAA Form
337 authorizing that installation is on board the aircraft.

(d) No person may operate a civil airplane (domestic or
foreign) into or out of an airport in the United States
unless it complies with the fuel venting and exhaust
emissions requirements of part 34 of this chapter.

§ 47.49 Replacement of Certificate.
(a) If a Certificate of Aircraft Registration is lost,
stolen, or mutilated, the holder of the Certificate of
Aircraft Registration may apply to the FAA Aircraft Registry
for a duplicate certificate, accompanying his application
with the fee required by §47.17.

(b) If the holder has applied and has paid the fee for a
duplicate Certificate of Aircraft Registration and needs to
operate his aircraft before receiving it, he may request a
temporary certificate. The FAA Aircraft Registry issues a
temporary certificate, by a collect telegram, to be carried
in the aircraft. This temporary certificate is valid until
he receives the duplicate Certicate of Aircraft
Registration.
