I think the intent is far more reaching than to purge non-flying aircraft from the database. It is likely to get a grip on aircraft registered to foreign entities through US trusts and many of these aircraft operate overseas and are controlled by non-US persons. While these are typically allowed and approved in the past by the FAA, the latest news releases indicate the IG auditor is criticizing the FAA for not having enough data and control on who controls these trusts. The Trusts are now being withheld as I read. With each country going after revenue grabs for N-registered aircraft abroad, I suspect a revenue grab domestically for "foreigners" using the label of "N" will appear some day and it will be more than $5. Anytime someone creates a database of owners of objects, the government finds a way to collect revenue on those assets. Canada (my country) does that now with the aircraft registry on each flight and its not hard to imagine how it might play out when the database is complete with newly confirmed mailing addresses of all flying N-registered aircraft. I think it is inevitable that owners of aircraft are going to be asked to pay to fly just as we are in Canada and owners are in Europe. But, you have to have a database of verified billing addresses before you can send out invoices. On 2013-07-20, at 2:50 PM, Todd Long <toddlong1@gmail.com> wrote: > This is something fairly new. The FAA claims it is a way to get aircraft that are no longer flying off of their registry. I can't imagine it's worth the five dollars they collect every few years. Three if I remember correct. Six months prior to your registration expiring you should get some mail from the FAA letting you know. > > Typing and grammar errors courtesy of Siri and the iPhone. > > On Jul 20, 2013, at 11:40, Charles Brown <browncc1@verizon.net> wrote: > >> I just noticed that all the aircraft registrations in the FAA database have certificate expiration dates, mine is in 2014.
