Good reminder. Mine is due in September and I was still able to file on-line.

Default Registration

King Title does an excellent job of expediting FAA paperwork. However the information on their website about the parameters for loosing and N number and when an expired n number again becomes available is not entirely correct.
I seem to remember that just a few months ago the registration process was running 1-2 weeks. Now it is 2-3 months?? Hmm, I wonder why. Disregard that I know why.
I will acknowlege one thing, there were a significant number of airplanes on the registry that were destroyed, in some cases 40 or more years ago. However the FAA has now created another problem and that is airplanes that have been in long term storage for years. There is now no way to track down those airplanes.

Default renewal dates

I previously complained about renewal dates being moved up if you reregistered early.

It does appear that this has been fixed. My recent FAA reregistration letter specifically stated that early online reregistration letter would not affect the next reregistration date. Searching the online database after doing so indicates that is in fact true.

Still a PITA though.

Default "scam"? no..... "shakedown" perhaps.....

If you're lucky enough to buy a plane while it's re-registration timeframe window is open, a single $5 fee gets you the registration transfer plus the next 3 years of registration in your name. When I was in the process of buying mine, there was some confusion about whether the current owner/seller had to pay a $5 fee to re-register it then I would have to pay another $5 fee to transfer the registration to myself but that wasn't the case.

When I registered my RV7, I called the FAA registration office and talked to a very nice lady, she confirmed I had all the required paperwork to submit and gave me her name to attach to the registration, I got it back in two weeks.

It seems like folks are being tracked more and more.. And if there is a glitch with the registration or the N number you could have the local police waiting for you... Such as John and Martha King did. There have been several others that were met by authorities just for not using flight following or filing a flight plan on a long trip or changing destination on an IFR trip. We had occasion to change destination on our corporate jet and were asked why the change, we inquired who wanted to know, they responded TSA..

there is no requirement to use flight following or file a flight plan. I am waiting to see how successful AOPA is in their recent inquiry and now court filing into unexplained, unprovocated meeting/detaining GA aircraft.

I know of a Lancair 4 that has been meet by local police several times at our airport because he flies up from AZ VFR at just below 16,500 ft at 300+ kts without a flight plan. Making this RV relevant, are we now considered a threat that they are tracking us?

Be careful out there, you are being watched.
