Registration extension


Recommended Posts

From AIN:

....Further, the reauthorization bill will allow the FAA to charge a manual surcharge “for certain matters conducted in person” and prevents a government shutdown from affecting the registry. It also directs the FAA to initiate a rulemaking by early February that would extend the duration of general aviation aircraft registrations from three years to seven.

Yes this will be good.  I think the reason for going to 3 years has been achieved.  I remember they wanted to get a number of old registrations of derelict aircraft off the registration rolls.  Now that we have gone through few 3 year cycles we can extend the registration period to a more reasonable period.  I would have used an even number like 6, 8 or 10 years.  Registrations used to be good until canceled by the owner or the aircraft was sold.

Until we find that three years for $5 morphs into bigger bucks fot 7 years.

Can't disagree, but it was inevitable.  Americans are inured to paying money to "register" vehicles. We're pretty lucky we can fly under the radar and pay $5.  how much did you pay to register your car?

Well....I don't know about mooneymite, but I only paid $20 to register my car.  But I did have to pay a $500 tax BEFORE was allowed to register my car. :(
