Bill of Sale: A signed copy of the Bill of Sale should be retained by both the buyer and the seller for their records and another copy must be sent to the FAA for filing. (This is all taken care of when you buy a plane through The Plane Exchange.)

Federal Aircraft Registration: A signed copy of the registration must be sent to the FAA along with a check for $5.00 to cover the filing fee. The pink copy of the registration will serve as your temporary federal registration and must remain in your plane until you receive your permanent registration in the mail. (The Plane Exchange handles the federal registration of all aircraft we sell.)

Release of Lien: If there is a lien on the aircraft, the proper release of lien paperwork must also be filed with the FAA. (All planes sold by The Plane Exchange come with a clean title.)

State Registration: Each state has different regulations concerning aircraft registration. You should check with your local flight school to see what the requirements are in your state.
