I have been looking for a Warrior and look up the tail numbers on the
database. The owners are not the same as I am told. Why is this?
The database typically takes several months to be updated. So one of
a few things could be happening.
1. The new owners never filed the paperwork or the FAA lost the
paperwork for the new ownership (this happened to me).
2. The updates haven't made it to the database yet. Typically this
takes 3-6 months.
3. The database is accurate, and the plane is owned by someone else.
Occasionally, you hear stories of stolen planes being sold by the
stealing party.
Regardless, if you are purchasing, it is worth a bit of homework on
your end to make sure the party selling you the plane actually owns
it.
