[1979, c. 80, §3 (amd); 1995, c. 504, Pt. B, §10 (amd).]

2. Eligibility. To be eligible for an aircraft dealer registration and renewal thereof, a person or corporation shall qualify and apply under one of the 2 categories set forth in the following paragraphs.

A. A franchise dealer shall be engaged in the business of manufacturing, buying or selling new and used aircraft, and shall maintain in the State a permanent place of business which includes an airport, office, hangar facilities, either owned or leased, and facilities for maintenance and repair of new aircraft and aircraft under warranty, provided that the repair and maintenance facilities are owned and operated by the dealer or contracted for by the dealer at the airport of operation.

These franchise dealer registrations and aircraft broker registrations may be transferred only to another aircraft in the possession of the dealer when they are placed upon the market for sale. Failure to display the certificates in the window or windshield of any aircraft listed for sale is prima facie evidence of failure to register. [1977, c. 678, § 32 (new).]
