Some people may decide they want to purchase an aircraft so that they can use it for personal travel or to fly themselves. Others may want one for part of their business, as either the primary focus for their business or as a tool to be used. Whatever your situation may be, you know that when you first start looking at airplanes to buy that whichever you choose is going to be a significant investment for you. Many people turn to the secondary market so that they can save some money on the deal, but if you are planning to do this you need to know that there is an essential step you may want to take first. Requesting an airplane abstract of title can help save you from potential headaches down the road.
Avoiding Problems with an Airplane Purchase
Jumping right in and agreeing to a deal for an airplane without performing any due diligence is an unwise move to make. You may sign a contract and spend a lot of money on a plane that has background issues like liens from other financial institutions or from mechanics or vendors that are owed money for work done. Your initial purchase was expensive, but now suddenly you are going to need to lay out even more money to fix the problems that have been passed along to you. With a simple step involving and abstract, you can avoid difficulties like this.
The Abstract is a Big Help
An airplane abstract of title will be a big help to you. It is worth it for you to get the paperwork and fill it out, but you also need to know the best way for you to go about doing this. The request needs to be filed with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), so you will need to get the application form from them and fill it out. You want to be careful when filling out the form so that you get everything correct the first time around. A mistake will cause the form to be returned to you, and you will need to resubmit it, potentially causing delays for you that can be disruptive.

Use the secure options below when title or record search raises a follow-up question about owner details, documents, certificate status, recorded interests, or a form request.
Questions before continuing with title or record search
What should be ready before continuing with title or record search?
Have the aircraft identifier, owner details, signer information, and any document tied to the request available before starting. For this title or record search concern, complete information helps keep the next request focused and reduces avoidable back-and-forth.
When should another aircraft record action be checked for title or record search?
For title or record search, 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 title or record search?
Follow-up during title or record search 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 title or record search information?
National Aviation Center can organize owner-provided information for title or record search, screen common preparation issues, and guide the request toward the secure form area. Official FAA review and acceptance remain outside National Aviation Center.
