Check your Aircraft Registration, FAA not sending out notices
Thanks so much for that reminder! My registration expires 12/31/14 and I've
set a reminder for mid-August.

I advise you to go to the FAA website and look up your N-number to see when
your aircraft registration expires. Then set a reminder for yourself 4
months before the expiration date to download form AC Form 8050-1B, fill it
out and mail it in with the $5.00 fee
The FAA is not sending out the notices as advertized, and once you do get a
registration renewal in their hands, it is taking them almost two months to
process them. There is no processing delay in the expiration of your
registration, and the Aircraft can't be flown until it has a current
registration. The online renewal, does not seem to speed things up either,
and without the online code imbedded in a notice that wasn't sent, you can't
do it on line anyway.
I have had problems with two different aircraft so far with registrations
that expired 3Q 2013. And I thought the government shutdown wouldn't affect
me.
