If you have been an aircraft owner for a while now, you may reach the point where you believe it is time to make a change. Perhaps you want to purchase a newer aircraft and need to sell your current plane first. It could be that you are ready to remove yourself from owning a plane and want to pass along your aircraft to someone else. Whatever your reasons may be for getting rid of your plane, when you do decide to sell or transfer ownership, you want to make sure that you let the FAA know that you are making this change. There are forms you need to file that note your plane exchange of ownership so that the FAA is aware of the new owner and has the latest information on file.
The Plane Exchange of Ownership Paperwork
Let’s face it – no one really likes filling out mountains of paperwork. It takes time away from doing the things we really want to do, it can be tedious and boring, and many of the applications and forms we find to use are written so that the average person gets confused easily by the language used. The FAA exchange and transfer application are no different, and it might be one of the last things you really want to spend time doing. Unfortunately, you may not have a choice if you are selling or transferring ownership. You need to spend time locating the form, printing out all the pages, filling it out, providing supporting documents, payment information, and much more, and then stuff it into an envelope, pay for postage, and hope it reaches its destination.
