Understanding the Definition of “Aircraft” Under Oklahoma Law
Hello, I’m OKC business attorney Dillan Savage of Wirth Law Office, and I practice primarily in the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma area.
Today, we are going to be talking about what the definition of “aircraft” is under Oklahoma law. If you would like to follow along with me, you can go to Title III, Section 252. That statute is titled Aircraft Defined.
Key Elements of the Definition
The statute itself is very short, so I’ll read it word for word. It states:
“Notwithstanding any other definition thereof in any other statute, the term ‘aircraft,’ as used herein, shall for license and registration purposes include any contrivance now known or hereafter invented, used, or designed for navigation of or flight in the air or airspace, manufactured by mass production or individually constructed or assembled, which are subject to registration with the Federal Aviation Administration.”
So essentially, if it’s manufactured or you’ve created it yourself, and its purpose is to navigate or fly in the air or aerospace, it is going to be defined as an aircraft.
It does not have to be mass-produced. It doesn’t even have to be produced by a company. It could be produced by somebody in their own backyard. But if it is used, and designed to be used, for navigation or flight in the air or airspace, it is likely going to be considered an aircraft under Oklahoma law.
