Aircraft Title Reports in the 21st Century
When the
International Registry was created on March 1, 2006, spawned
by the Convention on International Interests in Mobile
Assets and its related protocol, the Protocol to Convention
on International Interests in Mobile Equipment on Matters
Specific to Aircraft Equipment (collectively referred to by
us as the “Cape Town Convention” or “Cape Town” or the “Cape
Town Treaty”) the title search process changed with respect
to certain sizes of equipment.
Title
Reports on an “Aircraft Object”
as defined
in the Cape Town Treaty, i.e.:
Aircraft type-certificated to carry 8 persons, including
crew*; Helicopters type-certificated to carry 5 persons,
including crew**; |
and
Aircraft Engines of 550 rated take-off shaft horsepower or
more or Jet engines of 1750 pounds of thrust or more
*or
type-certificated to transport goods in excess of 2750
kg (6063 pounds)
**or
type-certificated to transport goods in excess of 450
kg (990 pounds)
require
searching records in two Registries: the Civil Aviation
Registry’s Aircraft Registration Branch records, and the
International Registry’s data base of registered
international interests. Thus, it is not
possible for Aero Records to issue “just an FAA title
report” on Aircraft Objects.
Title Reports on equipment
not defined as
“Aircraft Objects”
are
completed by searching the FAA’s Civil Aviation Registry
Aircraft Registration Branch records only.
What information is shown on
an aircraft title report?
Aero
Records’ Aircraft Title Reports report the current
registered owner’s name and address, from whom the aircraft
was acquired by the current registered owner, when it was
acquired (dates) and by what type of instrument. We
also show the name and address of the party from whom the
current registered owner acquired title.
In
addition to the registration information, we also provide a
listing of liens and encumbrances that remain
unsatisfied in the FAA records and any other information in
the file that might affect an interest in the aircraft
(rejected documents, attempts to assert ineligible liens,
etc.).
The
information on an Aircraft Title Search Report prepared from
FAA records is the result of reviewing full text copies of
every document received and archived by the Civil Aviation
Registry from the time the aircraft was manufactured (or
imported) through the present day
What if
I want more information (like a list of all previous owners,
or copies of any airworthiness documents on file with FAA)?
All you have to do is tell us what you need and we will
provide it!
