A new revenue stream? I think so.

Only $5 every 3 years for now but you can bet that rate will go up to
be the equivalent of a cars registration eventually.

I think that doing this for "security" really means job and pension
security for the FAA employees.

More B Ark candidates.

But the FAA is way behind the IRS. I don't think there's enough paper
to print all the 1099 forms that are soon to be required.

Saw a bumper sticker I liked the other day...
"I find myself becoming cynical, bad tempered and angry... AND THAT
****ES ME OFF."

Oops, now I'm on someone's list.

Gotta' have one of those!
I'm relatively new to aviation. I took my first soaring lesson in
2001, bought my first (probably last) glider in 2003. At the time I
was amazed at the fact that I only had to register it ONCE. I can't
seem to get too worked up about the registration issue. If they
charged $150.00 every three years, it would still be less than I pay
for my cheapest motor vehicle, (about $70.00 / year) and I don't have
to pay to have it smogged.

It's a small thing... in a larger context.

Maybe to you, but not to some of us. And read the complete document
from the FAA. It indicates (at least to me) that you can expect $45
per plane per three year period to start off. Again, it may seem
trivial to some, but not to all of us.

Especially if you own a dozen or more sailplanes!

just because it could be worse doesn't mean it has to be.

I think we need to export all these bureaucrats. We don't need another
Europe here.

The FAA has released its final rule requiring the re-registration of
all civil aircraft over the next three years and renewal every three
years thereafter. The FAA proposed a $5 re-registration and renewal
fee, but the FAA reauthorization bill if enacted as passed by the
House would authorize the agency to increase the initial registration
fee to $130 and re-registration and renewals to $45. AOPA proposed an
alternative in 2008 that would have allowed the FAA to achieve the
same goals without the expense of reissuing aircraft registrations.
