Civil Aviation Registry Aircraft Registration Branch
(AFS-750). Copies of aircraft records may also be
requested online. Visit www.faa.gov and select the
“Aircraft Registration” link. There may be other
records on file at federal, state, or local agencies that
are not recorded with the FAA. AFS-750 contact
information is in the FAA Contact Information
appendix on pages A1–A2 of this handbook.
Make sure the following documents are available
and in proper order for the aircraft:
• Airworthiness Certificate
• Engine and airframe logbooks
• Aircraft equipment list
• Weight and balance data, placards
• FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM)
and/or Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH)
m CAUTION: Missing documents, pages, or
entries from aircraft logbooks may cause significant
problems for the purchaser and reduce the value
of the aircraft.
Aircraft title
The Federal Aviation Act requires the FAA to main-
tain a recording system for aircraft bills of sale,
security agreements, mortgages, and other liens.
This is done at AFS-750, which also processes
applications for, and issues, aircraft registration
certificates. The two systems are linked together
because you must prove ownership in order to
be entitled to register an aircraft.
“Clear title” is a term commonly used by aircraft
title search companies to indicate there are no liens
(e.g., chattel mortgage, security agreement, tax
lien, artisan lien) in the FAA aircraft records. Title
searches for the aviation public are not performed by
AFS-750; however, the aircraft records contain
all of the ownership and security documents that
have been filed with the FAA.
AFS-750 records acceptable security instruments.
In addition, some states authorize artisan liens
(mechanic liens). These also need to be recorded. Be
sure to check your state’s statutes regarding liens.

m CAUTION: Federal liens against an owner
(drug, repossession, etc.) may not show up on your
title search.
State law determines lien and security interests.
Although there is no federal requirement to file lien
or security instruments with the FAA, the parties
to these transactions can file their qualifying
documents with AFS-750.
You may search the aircraft records, or have this
done by an attorney or aircraft title search company.
m CAUTION: FAA registration cannot be used in
any civil proceeding to establish proof of ownership.
There is no substitute for examining the aircraft’s
records to secure an ownership history and to
determine if there are any outstanding liens or
mortgages. This procedure should help avoid a
delay in registering an aircraft.
Filing Ownership and Lien Documents
Filing ownership and lien documents constitutes
formal notice to the world of the ownership and
security interests recorded. A person who engages
in a financial transaction involving a U.S. registered
aircraft who does not have a title search performed
is taking a risk. Under the law, that person will be
charged with knowing what is on file with the FAA,
even if he or she does not actually know. A simple
title search will show the federally recorded ownership and lien status of any aircraft registered in
the United States.
When a Lien Is Recorded
When a security agreement or lien document is
recorded, the FAA sends an Aeronautical Center (AC)
Form 8050-41, Conveyance Recordation Notice, to
the secured party. This notice describes the affected
aircraft (and other eligible collateral such as engines,
propellers and air carrier spare parts locations). It
also identifies the recorded document by its date,
the parties, the FAA recording number, and date
of recordation. This recordation notice is sent as a
confirmation that the lien has been recorded and
added to the aircraft record.
Releasing a Recorded Lien
The FAA Form 8050-41 may be used as a release
if the secured party signs below the release statement
and returns the form to the AFS-750. The FAA may
also accept as a release a document that describes
the affected collateral, specifically identifies the lien,
and contains a statement releasing all lienholder
rights and interest in the described collateral from
the terms of the identified lien. The release document
must be signed in ink by the secured party and show
the signer’s title, as appropriate.
A new AC Form 8050-41 may be requested by con-
tacting AFS-750. You will need to describe the aircraft
