Trump gets grounded jet flying again by selling it to himself
Smart move but sad commentary on the FAA which can't take the $5 fee and issue a new form when an aircraft's paperwork is otherwise up to date. Someone in Trump's organization knows how to work around the bureaucrats. (www.foxnews.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
And I will bet the transaction occurred in a venue that does not have ad valorum transfer taxes.
Delaware comes to mind. Lol
It was reported that it indeed was Delaware.
The re-registration requirement every 3 years is a ridiculous requirement. There was nothing wrong with the previous registration requirement, which was required upon the change of address or change in ownership. The FAA must have too many employees. Maybe a change is forthcoming if Trump is elected as president.
The presence or absence of the registration does not make an aircraft unairworthy. This is a paperwork, technical detail which, of course, must be complied with to satisfy the letter of the law (FAR). For many years prior the registration was good forever so long as the owner did not change. Many thought the 3 year renewal was the precursor of user fees but, so far, it has remained at the nominal $5.
Note 'so far'. Goole ' spot bill California' for apparent inocuous insertions.
Typical government operation. No common sense applied or allowed.
