Illinois State say I have to register with them?
I just got a notice from the IL department of transportation saying that I have to register with them and pay a $10.00 fee. At the back of the form it says "Operation of an aircraft without proper registration of a Federal Airman Certificate is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by a fine not to exceed $1,000 and/or up to one year in jail. See 620ILCS 5/42 (1992) IL Complied Statutes."
What the heck it this and is this normal for all States. Why do I have to register myself when I got my PPL? Is it because I live in the people republic of Illinois? I'm kind of pissed right now but if this is normal, I'll calm down. Just to clarify, they want me to register, not an aircraft I'm building or own.

My CFI who checked me out up in KUGN told me about it. Apparently it is normal in this state. |

A couple years ago Washington State tried this too. I had to pay $10 annually that they argued went for search and rescue and other state aviation costs. I even got a paper ID card. For some reason, they no longer do as far as I know. Not sure if they didn't have jurisdiction or whether it was something else, but I do remember a discussion about why it was dropped.

Welcome to Illinois
They have been doing this for as long as I remember. I have lived here all my life. I don't have my copy handy but I know it is good for two years. When you do get a plane, you will have to register that too and pay taxes on it.

Not only that, but if you buy a plane you have to pay personal property tax on it!

Same in Oregon, we're required to have a "Pilot Registration Certificate" as required by ORS 837.020, and our aircraft are also required to be registered...all funds go to "payment of expenses incurred for the air search and rescue program"...no comment on that other than any bureaucracy will grow to the extent of funds it can legislate to itself...and then some, so that more are always needed...

Let me give you another one from Illinois... went over this morning to title & license an old airport truck that I bought. Stopped at the bank to get cash for the seller, got enough for title etc (didn't think to bring my checkbook along.) At the licensing bureau, they took cash for the title and license, but don't accept cash for the sales tax. Can't send the form in separate so I tracked down a bank (different town from my home) and purchased a money order. Couldn't figure that logic out at all. Welcome to the (socialist) state of Illinois.

Hmmm... Seems that that statement would apply to everyone that fly into, out of or over the state. Every pilot of every aircraft right?
I've never heard of it but I guess it's considered normal in IL. Maybe its been around so long no one questions it?
Just wondering, does the state maintain a fleet of search and rescue aircraft standing by or even someone actually monitoring the radio to come find you or do they use CAP and local assets like the rest of the country?
