IDENTIFICATION PLATE
(Reference is FAR Part
45.11)
In addition to affixing the aircraft’s
registration number to the sides of the
fuselage, the builder must also
identify his aircraft by attaching an
identification plate to the aircraft’s
structure.
This identification data required to
be inscribed on the plate for amateur-
built aircraft shall include the following
information:
a. Builder’s name and address
b. Model designation
c. Builder’s serial number
The
identification
plate
containing these
essential
elements must be of fireproof
material and must be secured in
such a manner that it will not likely
be defaced or removed during
normal
service,
or
lost
or
destroyed in an accident. It must
be secured to the aircraft at an
accessible location
near
an
entrance, except that if it is legible
to a person on the ground it may
be located externally on the
fuselage near the tail surfaces.
The identification
plate
information
must
be
marked
thereon by etching, stamping,
engraving, or other acceptable
fireproof marking.
Metal plates which comply with
these
requirements
may
be
purchased from the Experimental
Aircraft Association for a very
nominal fee.
