Wow, we're still rehashing this old bugaboo and
misinformation that the Data plate that Aircraft Spruce and Lancair sells
is required. TWO plates are NOT required-- in fact they are NOT authorized
UNLESS the "aircraft manufactured before March 7, 1988"
Here's the straight skinny!!!---
Section 45.11: General.
(a) Aircraft and aircraft engines. Aircraft covered under
§21.182 of this chapter must be identified, and each person who manufacturers an
aircraft engine under a type or production certificate shall identify that
engine, by means of a fireproof plate that has the information specified in
§45.13 of this part marked on it by etching, stamping, engraving, or other
approved method of fireproof marking. The identification plate for aircraft must
be secured in such a manner that it will not likely be defaced or removed during
normal service, or lost or destroyed in an accident. Except as provided in
paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section, the aircraft identification plate must
be secured to the aircraft fuselage exterior so that it is
legible to a person on the ground, and must be either adjacent to and aft of the
rear-most entrance door or on the fuselage surface near the tail surfaces. For
aircraft engines, the identification plate must be affixed to the engine at an
accessible location in such a manner that it will not likely be defaced or
removed during normal service, or lost or destroyed in an accident.
(b)---
(c)---
(d) On aircraft manufactured before
March 7, 1988, the identification plate required by paragraph (a) of this
section may be secured at an accessible
exterior or interior location near an
entrance, IF the model
designation and builder's serial number are also displayed on
the aircraft fuselage exterior. The model designation and builder's serial
number must be legible to a person on the ground and must be located either
adjacent to and aft of the rear-most entrance door or on the fuselage near the
tail surfaces. The model designation and builder's serial number must be
displayed in such a manner that they are not likely to be defaced or removed
during normal service.

Section 45.13: Identification data.
(a) The identification
required by §45.11 (a) and (b) shall include the following information:
(1) Builder's name.
(2) Model designation.
(3) Builder's serial number.
(4) Type certificate number, if any.
(5) Production certificate number, if any.
