The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has brought out a new rule that will require all civil aircraft to undergo reregistration over the next three years and renewal every three years subsequently.
The new rule has provided specific expiration dates over a three-year period for all aircraft registered before 1 October 2010 and requires reregistration of those aircraft according to a specific schedule.
All aircraft registration certificates issued on or after 1 October 2010 will be good for three years with the expiration date clearly shown.
FAA administrator Randy Babbitt said that the improvements would provide more up-to-date registration data and better information about the state of the aviation industry.
Current regulations need owners to report the sale, scrapping or destruction of an aircraft, or a change in mailing address, but many have not complied with those requirements.
Reregistration by December 2013 will enhance the database with current data derived from recent contact with aircraft owners.
