V1VRV2 Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 The FAA received my transfer of registration request about 3 weeks ago. Does anyone know how long the processing time is for transferring registration to new owners? Quote
carusoam Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 Under normal conditions... a couple Of weeks... Covid may have slowed them down a bit... The result is a temporary pink document should be in your hand... I got the pink document at home... David said... put that somewhere safe... so I left it home before I went to bring my plane home... Somewhere after that, the real printed black and white card arrives... Either way, I have never showed this document to anyone... yet. You can always check to see who your plane is registered to... V1, is your tail number your cruise speed? https://flightaware.com/resources/registration/N191KT Best regards, -a- 1 Quote

Sometimes if they've received it and there's a paperwork glitch it will say "pending", but it doesn't look like it's processed yet. https://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_Results.aspx?NNumbertxt=191KT 1 Quote
midlifeflyer Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 Was it electronic or paper? I recently completed finishing two for clients which had been rejected multiple times for problems (the reason I got involved). Turn around time is about a month. Paper filings are quarantined before being opened (looks like 7-10 days), so they take longer. Edit: It's getting longer. I recently received an email on information I sent in August 13. The email, which was dated September 22, said, they received the paper documents August 17 but were working on documents received August 6. So don't hold your breath. 1 Quote

I believe legally you have to keep the pink temporary in the aircraft until the permanent arrives. -Robert 2 Quote

What "pink copy"? The FAA went to PDF about 10 years ago. Heck, you can even sign the application digitally these days. I threw out all my remaining three-part-white/green/pink NCR forms years ago. But yes, FAR 47.31(c) requires a copy be kept in the airplane and yes, 10 years ago the regulation specified the "pink" copy be kept in the airplane. 1 Quote
tmo Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) Actually, the bit about going digital is true for the FCC as well, made me chuckle when I printed a PDF I paid $70 (my radio cert) and $250 (the plane's radio cert) to get had a big "Official Copy" overlaid across the whole page. To be rebellious, I printed it on A4 paper instead of letter - and I printed it out twice! The FAA permanent registration form came in via snail mail; the temp one was a PDF.

That was often the more difficult part of buying a plane. Walking around the airport to see who had the 3 part NCR form. It was the last form that couldn’t be printed on a computer. I ordered 1/2 dozen from the faa to have them around but I have a lot of them out. -Robert Quote
Steve W Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 Looks like mine took about 7 weeks. August 18th to October 7th. 1 Quote
M20R Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 I emailed the FAA registry and they said they were only up to Sept 4th in processing applications. So, don't worry, it will come eventually. 1 Quote
V1VRV2 Posted October 9, 2020 Author Report Posted October 9, 2020 I submitted the application by mail. I have not received anything back from them. Wondering! Quote
carusoam Posted October 10, 2020 Report Posted October 10, 2020 The pandemic is revolutionizing paperwork at a higher rate of speed than before.... Enabling companies like Docusign to really take off... Best regards, -a- 1 Quote
RobertGary1 Posted October 10, 2020 Report Posted October 10, 2020 Next the FAA will question why every certificate change must be manually processed by a guy in Oklahoma. The 8710 is electronic. The computer should be able to update the airman database within seconds of passing a checkride not months. I remember once getting a new certificate in the mail and totally confused why I was getting it. I’d forgotten I’d added a type rating 3 month prior and never actually got the new cert. -Robert 1 Quote

You won't automatically receive anything except (1) the approved permanent registration certificate or (2) a rejection because something was incorrect. If you get a (2) prepare for the same amount of delay each time you send in the correction paperwork. And, do yourself a favor. If you get a (2) and are not 100% sure the correction is easy (ie, a name was misspelled), get professional advice. The one I most recently "fixed" was originally filed almost a year and a half earlier, with multiple "corrections" before I became involved. It was an unusually complicated situation, but, at worst, it could have been fixed on the first try. To make matters worse, the prior registration expired in the meantime, so the temporary couldn't be extended. Quote
RLCarter Posted October 12, 2020 Report Posted October 12, 2020 Almost 1 year to the date, FAA was shut down at the time and lost ALL the paper work. Didn’t fess up to loosing everything until about the 7th month, sent it ALL back in and 5 months later I received it in the mail Quote
