    I don't know Jerry. I'm beginning to think some of these guys are right. It should be up to every State to regulate and register aircraft. That way we would have 50 different Aviation administrations and our pilots licenses would only be valid in the state we received it. That would simplify everything.

    big smiley face here. that's not what i meant and you know it. i neither wrote nor meant the states should regulate aircraft operations. registration of aircraft is not an enumerated function of the federal government and is thus a state function. just like motor vehicle registration. the majority of states agree, they have state aviation administrations and register aircraft already. or are you advocating the federal government should register motor vehicles and certificate their drivers?

    is your motor vehicle operator license and registration only valid in the state of issue? of course not. why not? Article IV, Section 1 of the United States Constitution. which is why a marriage license/certificate is valid in all fifty states, and a concealed carry license/permit, and ......sorry, thread creep.

    Interesting deal. I was reading the forums, took a break and went to my mail box to pick up the mail. In the mail was a brand new registration certifcate for my airplane. I had applied and payed online for re-registration on 5-20. It's now 5-26. I'm totally surprised !

    It was easy, wasn't it? Worked the same way on each of my aircraft so I guess I'm just not sympathetic to those that make a simple thing difficult.

    Oh yeah? Don't tell my gay nephew that, unless you have time for a lecture! :-)

    It was a pita. You get the letter, you can't renew as soon as it comes because it won't accept it. You wait too long (within a month from expiration) and you can't renew it online either. God help you if you never receive or otherwise lose the letter. There's no way to get the registration code needed for online without it or have it reissued. Not only is it a complete waste of time the implemenation is incredibly stupid.

    Guess I don't really see a problem with having a data base of currently active aircraft. I happen to know there are at least four or five hangar queens on our little airport that will never probably see the light of day (or wind under their wings). Having said that, I agree the five dollar registration "fee" will likely be used as a cash cow and open for 'adjustment' because everyone knows only rich people own airplanes even though my neighbors boat most likely cost a lot more than my little putt putt.
