TIPS FROM PIC
Dealing with
registration
delays
BY MARK MILKOVITZ
THE FAA IS approximately five months
behind in aircraft registration processing,
which can cause issues for aircraft
owners who wait to renew their aircraft
registration. The FAA sends out
renewal notices with instructions on
how to renew online six months prior
to the aircraft registration expiration.
AOPA highly recommends renewing
online by following the instructions
and using the unique pin code given in
the letter, which will ensure that your
registration renewal will be completed
prior to its expiration.
There is an option to mail in a registration
renewal form, but that will take
much longer. It also increases the risk
that something might not be filled out
correctly on the form, which will delay
the renewal even more. Here are a few
tips to make sure that your aircraft registration
renewal goes smoothly.
Verify when your registration
expires by looking at the registration
card in the airplane. Then, mark your
calendar for six months prior to the
expiration. Start looking for the renewal
notice in the mail at that six-month
mark. If you haven't received the notice
five months before your registration
expires, prepare to mail in the registration
renewal form right away. We
recommend using a service such as AeroSpace
Reports (aerospacereports.com)
to submit your application because they
can ensure it is filled out correctly and
reduce any delays. One final tip is to
verify the address that is on the aircraft
registration because that is where the
FAA will mail the renewal notice and
instructions with the pin number.
