Exploring a new country is on most people’s bucket list. It’s easy to obtain a plane ticket and fly on a commercial flight, but when it comes to private flights the process may become a little more complicated. Some of the many things you should remember about flying internationally on a private aircraft are the…
One question we tend to get a bit is: “why do I need to register my aircraft?” You’ve got an aircraft, you’ve completed the paperwork, you’ve paid for it, it’s yours – why is this extra step so important? It’s come up enough that we feel we should lay out a blog that states things…
Remember the last time you bought an appliance? Maybe it was something large, like a washer and dryer, or perhaps it was something smaller, such as a grill, blender, or something similar. If you’re like most people, you did your research. You went online, saw the pros and cons of one brand, make, or model,…
Are you up to date on all of your aircraft ownership documentation? When you look at the forms you have to fill out, do you see nomenclature like “Form AC 8050-1” and immediately think: “eh, I’ll deal with this tomorrow?” That’s perfectly understandable.

Any pilot could tell you that no two planes are exactly the same. In fact, every plane is just a little bit different from the last. Aircraft registration reflects this, too. That’s why every plane has its own airplane tail numbers. Sure, some of the numbers are similar, but they’re all different – just like…
One of the things that make aircraft documents so confusing is how similar some of the terms sound. For example, “aircraft registration” sounds just the same as “airworthiness certificate.” After all, the layperson might argue, how can an aircraft be properly registered if the FAA doesn’t believe it’s worthy of being up in the air?…
