What happens to a permit to fly when the ownership of the aircraft changes?

When the holder of a permit to fly changes, ownership changes, and/or there is a change of register, the basis upon which the permit was issued is no longer fully in place. Such changes necessitate a new application under 21.A.707.

Are there any exceptions to the rule that a change of ownership requires a new permit to fly application?

Yes, the rule does not apply to permits to fly issued under 21.A.701(a)(15), such as for aircraft without a TC holder.

What is the regulatory basis for requiring a new application when a permit to fly is transferred?

The requirement for a new application under 21.A.707 is stated in GM 21.A.719, which explains that changes in holder, ownership, or register necessitate a new application because the original basis for the permit is no longer fully in place.

Does a change of register alone trigger the need for a new permit to fly application?

Yes, a change of register alone, as well as a change in holder or ownership, means the basis upon which the permit was issued is no longer fully in place, necessitating a new application under 21.A.707.

GM 21.A.719 Transfer of a permit to fly

Q: Why is a new application required when the holder of a permit to fly changes?

A permit to fly is issued based upon the applicant's declaration of many aspects of the proposed flight or flights, some of which are specific to the applicant. When the holder changes, that basis is no longer fully in place, so a new application under 21.A.707 is necessary.

GM 21.A.719 Transfer of a permit to fly

ED Decision 2012/020/R

Except for permits to fly issued under 21.A.701(a)(15), like aircraft without TC holder, a permit to fly is issued based upon the applicant’s declaration of many aspects of the proposed flight or flights, some of which are specific to the applicant. Accordingly, the basis upon which a permit to fly has been issued necessarily is no longer fully in place when the holder of a permit to fly changes, ownership changes, and/or there is a change of register. Such changes necessitate a new application under 21.A.707.
