Last week the FAA increased the time required for aircraft owners to reregister their aircraft from three years to seven years. This affects commercial and noncommercial aircraft starting Jan. 23, 2023.
The rule was issued as a Direct Final Rule. The FAA is accepting comments until Dec. 22, and if an adverse comment is received, the comment will be published or the rule may be changed. In addition, the FAA is applying this amendment to all aircraft currently registered under existing FAA regulations governing aircraft registration, which will extend valid Certificates of Aircraft Registration to a seven-year duration. This change was mandated by the FAA reauthorization act of 2018.
