You have been eyeing that particular airplane you saw online or in a magazine for a while. You know purchasing an aircraft is a significant investment for you and not something you are going to do without much thought. You also know you are not going to walk into a showroom, to a broker’s office, or meet with an original seller and handover a suitcase of cash to buy the plane from them. Like most people, you will need some financial backing, and you will have to secure a mortgage to buy your aircraft, meaning the plane itself will be used as collateral for you to obtain a loan. When you enter into an agreement like this, you will need to fill out a form and file it with the FAA. Unfortunately, FAA form 8050-98 can be cumbersome and complicated, and the last thing you want is to make a mistake and fill out the form incorrectly.
FAA Form 8050-98: A Confusing Form for Some
This form, also referred to by the FAA as an Aircraft Security Agreement, can seem dizzying when you first look at it. You can download the form 8050-98 from the FAA and print it out so that you can fill it out correctly. The language used on the form seems very formal and legal, as it should be, but this can make it hard for people to understand and fill out correctly. Mistakes are commonplace, where people neglect to fill out certain parts of the form or supply incorrect information, and then they send the form in with the processing fee. It will just be a matter of time before the form is returned to you because of the mistakes, meaning you must start all over again.

Helpful aircraft record steps connected with initial registration
Use the secure options below when initial registration raises a follow-up question about owner details, documents, certificate status, recorded interests, or a form request.
Questions before continuing with initial registration
What should be ready before continuing with initial registration?
Have the aircraft identifier, owner details, signer information, and any document tied to the request available before starting. For this initial registration concern, complete information helps keep the next request focused and reduces avoidable back-and-forth.
When should another aircraft record action be checked for initial registration?
For initial registration, check another option when the situation also involves a sale, renewal, address update, certificate request, title search, lien, mortgage, or registry status concern. The right support depends on what changed.
What details usually cause follow-up during initial registration?
Follow-up during initial registration is more likely when names do not match, identifiers are incomplete, signer authority is unclear, or the document does not explain the requested change. Reviewing those details early keeps the request cleaner.
Can National Aviation Center help prepare initial registration information?
National Aviation Center can organize owner-provided information for initial registration, screen common preparation issues, and guide the request toward the secure form area. Official FAA review and acceptance remain outside National Aviation Center.
