Several NBAA member companies have been informed that if they fail the Department of Transportation definition of U.S. citizen, they are restricted by DOT regulations from operating their business aircraft under Part 91 Subpart F even though the aircraft in question may be U.S.-registered.

Pete West, NBAA senior vice president of government and public affairs, said in an e-mail to members that the DOT definition of citizenship relies on four tests, and failure to satisfy any one of these tests results in the company’s U.S.-registered aircraft being considered a foreign aircraft for DOT regulatory purposes.
