Federal Aviation Administration


Aircraft Registration Status

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) electronic 
Aircraft Registration System will be augmented to reflect the observed 
status of an aircraft's certificate of registration.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 20, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Walter Binkley, Manager, Aircraft 
Registration Branch (AFS-750), Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, 
Federal Aviation Administration (AFS-750), Post Office Box 25504, 
Oklahoma City, OK 73125. Telephone (405) 954-3131.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 47.41(a) of the Federal Aviation 
Regulations (14 CFR part 47) enumerates circumstances under which a 
certificate of aircraft registration becomes ineffective. The most 
commonly observed event is receipt of information indicating the 
aircraft ownership has changed. The change of aircraft ownership 
renders the certificate of registration ineffective for operations (see 
14 CFR 91.203(a)(2)). The FAA believes it is in the interest of 
national security, safety, and accuracy that the Aircraft Registration 
System reflect the observed status of an aircraft's registration.
    On the effective date stated herein, aircraft records containing 
information that would render a certificate of registration ineffective 
if true, will be changed to reflect a status of ``In Question''.
    Such status is informational in nature and should not be construed 
as a legal determination that the certificate of registration is 
ineffective.

    Issued in Oklahoma City, OK on June 13, 2003.
Mark Lash,
Manager, Civil Aviation Registry.
