It’s always important to remember that your aircraft certificate needs to be at hand and in good condition to be valid. If it isn’t, you’ll need an aircraft certificate of registration replacement. Here’s how to get yours.
Getting an Aircraft Certificate of Registration Replacement
When you first registered your aircraft, you received a certificate of registration. This is vital to keep around when operating your aircraft. As you might be aware, you need to keep it on board the aircraft whenever you are operating it for it to be valid. This certificate has to be the official one that you received from the Federal Aviation Administration and not a photocopy or digitalized version. This is why it will be so important for you to properly take care of the certificate you receive going forward. You don’t want something to happen to the certificate, forcing you to ground your aircraft temporarily.
Lost or Damaged Registration
Given the extreme importance of the physical aircraft registration certificate, you need to be very careful with it. Always make sure to keep it in the aircraft, yes, but always protected by a folder or a cover that properly protects it from potential damage from water and makes it harder to misplace. As previously mentioned, you always need an official physical copy at hand. If you don’t have that, then you can’t operate your aircraft by the Federal Aviation Administration’s guidelines. So, should that be the case and you end up losing your certificate, all you need to do is request an official copy from the Federal Aviation Administration. Don’t worry, this is a very straightforward process.
Replace Your Aircraft Certificate of Registration
So, how do you request an aircraft certificate of registration from the Federal Aviation Administration? Is it the same as when you first had to get your initial aircraft registration?
