7/20/2010 - Details of New FAA Aircraft Re-Registration Revealed
What used to be a simplified process of a one time $5 registration fee for the life of the aircraft/owner has become a complicated and potentially expensive process that will now reoccur every three years. Due to security and law enforcement concerns a new aircraft registry rule enacted by the FAA will take effect on new aircraft registries beginning October 1, 2010.
Owners are urged to update all their aircraft registration information prior to October 1. This can be done at FAA.gov by selecting the line that applies to your situation, such as address change. Those owners with correct information prior to Oct 1 will be able to accomplish the process of the new re-registration online. Others will have to obtain a paper form from the FAA to update and then re-register after the rule takes affect.
