One of your true passions in life is flying. You love going up in a plane, soaring through the skies, and taking in the sights you see while far above the earth. You enjoy it all so much that you went out and purchased an aircraft of your own so that you can go flying whenever the mood strikes you. You have been able to fly near and far, seeing places and things you never thought you would. However, one day, when you go out to the mailbox, you see a letter from the FAA. You open the envelope and read words that make your jaw drop – your registration has lapsed, and you cannot take your plane out legally. You thought you had taken care of everything, but you overlooked re-registering when you had to. What do you do now? There is a process you can go through to reinstate your plane registration, and here at the National Aviation Center, we can be there to assist you.
The Registration Reinstatement Process
The FAA does make efforts to notify owners that their registration is expiring and requires renewal. Notices are mailed out starting at six months before expiration so that you can be proactive and apply for renewal. However, many people get busy with their lives and simply forget that it needs to be done until the date has passed. The problem becomes that without registration, your plane is not legally allowed to be in the air. You will need to go to the FAA and seek to reinstate your registration so that your N-number for your plane is not reassigned to another aircraft. Unfortunately, the process can be complicated at this point with the FAA.
The FAA and Registration
To reinstate your plane registration, you will have to file with the FAA. You might think – great, I can just go to the website and do it online! The problem is that the security codes you need to do this were included with the renewal notices they sent you long ago. Without these codes, you are unable to perform the action online, so you will have to physically mail the form to the FAA. This means if you make a mistake, the form gets returned to you, and you need to start over, delaying the process. If the letter gets lost in the mail, you are pushed back even further. Finding an easier way to do this is imperative to you at this point.
