Frequently Asked Questions

To register an aircraft in the United States, owners must meet FAA citizenship requirements, which typically exclude non-U.S. citizens and foreign entities from direct registration. However, U.S. law permits the use of an Owner Trust, where a U.S.-citizen trustee holds legal title to the aircraft on behalf of the foreign owner. This structure provides a secure and fully compliant solution for non-citizens to register aircraft under the U.S. “N” register. Additionally, U.S. citizens may use Owner Trusts to enhance privacy, simplify sales transactions, and structure leases or financing arrangements.

Privacy & Anonymity: An Owner Trust can help maintain privacy, protecting the identities of the aircraft’s true owner(s).

Facilitating Sales: U.S. registration can expedite aircraft sales, as FAA-registered aircraft are often preferred by buyers.

Exportation: Short-term trusts can be used for temporary U.S. registration until the aircraft is exported and re-registered in another jurisdiction.

Financing: The trust structure does not negatively affect the ability to finance the aircraft and may even enhance it.

Tax Neutrality: The trust does not affect your tax situation. Any income or expenses flow through to the beneficiary, as if no trust were involved.

Trust Formation: We create tailored trusts to meet FAA registration requirements, ensuring compliance and protecting your privacy.

Aircraft Registration: As your trustee, we handle all the paperwork for registering the aircraft with the FAA under the U.S. “N” register.

Operational Control: We facilitate operating agreements or lease arrangements, ensuring the beneficiary retains control over the aircraft’s use and maintenance.

Sales and Exportation: We provide seamless assistance with transferring ownership and registration.
