United States law requires that all aircraft must be registered under the name of a U.S. entity or individual citizen. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has recognized the use of Owner Trusts to facilitate N-registration, whether the beneficiary of the trust is a U.S. citizen or not . To create an FAA aircraft owner trust , the trust beneficiary must transfer legal title to Aviation Trust Company, which qualifies as a citizen of the United States of America. Aviation Trust Company will act on behalf of the beneficiary, and the aircraft will be titled and registered in the name of Aviation Trust Company, as Owner Trustee.
