Feds Order Aircraft Owners to Update Registrations by February 2006.
December 12, 2005 - Aircraft owners and operators have until February 1, 2006 to ensure their aircraft registration information is properly completed and up to date (including address) or they may be denied access to the National Airspace System (NAS).

An FAA notice published in the Federal Register on December 9 indicates that FAA and TSA “will revitalize and refocus” U.S. airspace monitoring capabilities to ensure that each aircraft operating within the NAS has met all statutory, regulatory and certification requirements, effective February 1, 2006. 

This notice is the latest FAA action intended to ensure that only properly registered aircraft operate within the NAS. Previous requests to register aircraft and update contact information were in an effort to update the aircraft owner database and assist local law enforcement agencies in the event of a downed or overdue aircraft.

The current notice states that operators of aircraft identified as having “questionable registrations” and/or no TSA required security measures/waivers will be notified of the deficiency. A pilot deviation will be filed on the operator, who may be denied access to the NAS. If the operator is not the owner, both operator and owner will be notified of the deficiency and both will be subject to any action deemed warranted by the agency in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
