Which form provides authority to paint and operate an aircraft under a new N-number?

• A. Form AC 8050-64
• B. Form AC 8050-55
• C. Form AC 8050-64A
• D. Form AC 8050-11

Answer: (A)

Giving an aircraft a new N-number requires official permission from the FAA to reflect that new registration on the airframe. Form AC 8050-64 is the document used to assign or reassign the registration marks and to authorize displaying the new N-number, which includes painting the aircraft to match the new marks and operating under that registration. The other forms are for different registration tasks and do not provide this specific authorization to paint and operate under a new N-number.
