SFA Registration

You use the SFA Registration page to provide registration information about the foreign, non-military aircraft for which you are requesting an SFA. Multiple registrations can be performed sequentially on this page. You access this page, after completing the SFA Questionnaire page, in any of the following ways:

• From the SFA Questionnaire page, click Save & Next after completing the questionnaire (note that to continue with the application you must answer "No" to both questions). The SFA Registration page displays.
• From the My AWC landing page, select the Special Flight Authorizations link under My Applications. The Special Flight Authorizations list at the bottom of the screen displays your current SFA applications. Select the appropriate application by clicking on the Application Number hyperlink. The SFA Registration page displays.

At the top of the FAA header, Help, User Guide, References and Signout links are displayed in the right corner of the FAA page header. The Help link opens page-specific help for the current page. The User Guide link opens the Airworthiness Certification Applicant User Guide, which is the secondary resource for Airworthiness Certification Applicant Portal application user procedures and reference information. The References link opens a page allowing you to access FAA reference data relevant to Airworthiness Certification. The Signout link logs you out of the application and takes you to the System Use Notice. At the bottom of the FAA header, your name displays right justified along with a Person icon (); clicking the icon displays a pop-up screen with a list of the roles assigned to you.

The title bar showing the application name, "Airworthiness Certification (AWC) - Applicant Portal," displays at the top of the page below the standard FAA page header. The Airworthiness Certification application navigation top-level menu displays just below the title bar and contains the links that provide access to the Airworthiness Certification commands, or functions: My AWC, Search, Reports and My Profile.

An application data block displays the following information below the top-level menu. The Application Type field displays "Special Flight Authorization - New" and the Status/State displays "Open."

Below the application data block, a tabbed, third-tier menu appears with links to the various pages in the application process. The tabs are color coded indicating whether the pages under that tab are complete (green), in progress (yellow) or not yet started (red). Pages with required fields are marked with icons indicating completed (), in progress (), or not yet started
(). If all the required data is complete, a green check mark () appears next to Aircraft Registration in the third-tier menu indicating that this section is complete.

The SFA Registration page name appears below the third-tier menu.
