FAA: no ban on registrations of foreign-owner trust aircraft
In response to scuttlebutt that the FAA had ceased processing aircraft registrations for foreign-owner trusts, the agency sent a letter to a group of stake

In response to scuttlebutt that the FAA had ceased processing aircraft registrations for foreign-owner trusts, the agency sent a letter to a group of stakeholders clarifying that it has not imposed any moratorium on the issuance of pending or future registrations involving non-citizen trusts.

“The FAA Aeronautical Center is continuing its past practice of issuing opinions covering non-citizen trust in accordance with its prior practice,” FAA chief counsel David Grizzle wrote in a letter addressed to NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. “We are not challenging the registration of aircraft currently registered under non-citizen trusts.”
