FAA ANNOUNCES EXTENSION OF AIRCRAFT REGISTRATIONS TO 7 YEARS
December 16, 2022
On November 16, 2022, the FAA announced that it will extend the duration of aircraft registration certificates from three (3) years to seven (7) years unless an event or circumstance requires that a new registration be submitted prior to the expiration date of a certificate. For example, if FAA determines that a holder’s registration information is inaccurate, it may require it to submit new registration forms prior to the stated expiration date of their certificate. All initial certificates of aircraft registration will now expire seven years from the month during which they are issued, and certificates for all current aircraft registered under FAA regulations will be extended to a seven-year duration.
