Aircraft re-registration requirement

[RV10Rob]

For those nearing the time to register their airplane, it may make sense to wait until October 1, if possible:

As an aside, I sent my registration in a few weeks ago, and the turnaround time was really quick. The registration appeared on the FAA website within a few days, and I had my certificate in less than 2 weeks, including transit time both ways.

In addition to the FAA decision to require re-registration (that is presently going to cost $5.00 each time), AVWeb is reporting that they are working toward increasing the initial registration cost to $130 and each re-registration to $45.

Now, I don't want to sound all political here but this is why so many people are looking at this administration's huge increase of government involvement in our lives with very cynical eyes. Present party included!

Interesting, will the feds send out a renewal notes or is it on us to know when to do it???

A short video about re-registration is on the AOPA
update site today. It seemed to cover most of my questions.
They mentioned that we will be notified when we need to re-register.

What the ...

I find it odd that I just received a post card asking if the plane's registration was update to date. If it was, no action was required but if it wasn't, they wanted to know.

I don't see a problem with that type of update.

Besides adding another tax, this gives the FAA another reason to fine you, if your registration has lapsed.

Whatever happened to the "Land of the Free"?

Read (unverified) that failing to re-register would cause the aircraft to be "unregistered" or similar. Wonder what that means for custom and certified aircraft.

Here is what I read "The FAA will cancel the N-numbers of aircraft that are not re-registered or renewed."

The FAA claims their data base is not correct.

If they would have just put a "all info correct" box on that 3 year postcard and asked for it to be mailed back, their data base would be much more accurate...
