Anyway way to speed up FAA registration process??

dreed · #1 01-14-2021, 06:07 PM

I've been so busy that as I approach the end of phase 0 (initial building) that I let the registration process slip my mind. Totally my fault.

Vans is supposed to send my 8050-2 to me tomorrow (holidays slowed this a couple weeks).

I've heard you can pay someone/businesses in OK City to walk the docs into the FAA to help expedite.

Has anyone ever heard of this? Wondering if COVID, or the new online processes would prevent this anyway.

I may just have to suck it up and wait, but if I can speed it up it's worth somewhat of a premium to me to fix my mistake.

Thanks

A recent DAR client did this expedited registration and it was severely fouled up.

Initial registrations get priority. Most initial registrations, if everything is correct, are typically turned around within 2 weeks to 1 month.

Make sure you have all your ducks in a row. Include check and Print & Sign where instructed. Double check everything before you send.

King Title in Oklahoma City area. Two day turnaround normally, don't know if the virus affects things. 50 bucks the last time I used them.

My recent registration was returned in about two weeks from receipt by the FAA.
Mailed in with nothing special done.

I've used Insured Aircraft Title Service in OKC, they can handle everything usually in 1 day, and overnight your permanent registration. Last one I think they charged $60.

Thanks All! I'll reach out to them both tomorrow, if $50/60 that is very reasonable. But even 2-3 weeks should work too.

The FAA contracted out the registrations so check first because what worked before may not now!

When you call the FAA aircraft registration branch the recording says they are presently processing applications from Nov 5. I submitted mine Nov 10 and am still waiting. The number is 1-866-762-9434.

Wow. I submitted mine last spring and got it back approved (first try - I CAN follow directions!) in under 10 days. I was amazed.
