REFLECTOR: REGISTRATION NIGHTMARE

[Chuck Jensen]

"Finding" a bill of sale would certainly expedite the matter but is less
appealing if one suffers from the new Martha Stewart virus.  Just go to the
person shown on the FAA registration records for a Bill of Sale.  If the
original owner is deceased, then appeal to the estate's executor or other
family members that can help out.  When you explain your problem, they may
even help out (hey, its happened!!).
 
You may even have to pay a few dollars of attorney's fee to have their
attorney sort everything out, but small change compared to an unperfected
title.  It seems illogical that the FAA could ask for a paper trail through
people that never owned the plane--at least in the eyes of the FAA.    So,
you should be able to ignore those interim, temporary "renters" that feed
and housed your little bird, since they never existed--at least in the eyes
of the FAA.
 
If you're concerned that that swamp may still hold quicksand and deep water,
the EAA idea sounds like a winner!!

Tom,
 
I'm the original purchaser of my kit, but I don't yet have a "Bill of Sale"
from Velocity.  I have the original invoice.  The factory waits until you
are ready to register to provide the Bill of Sale.  Your situation is
considerably complicated by the intervening owner/builders, but I think
between the Velocity factory and EAA you will get past this bump in the
road.  Let us know how it works out!

Ok, I'm within days of flying but have hit a snag getting my registration.
 
It has been rejected for lack of a Aircraft Bill of Sale from the factory.
Problem is ... I am not the original purchaser.  Neither is the guy I bought
it from ... and the guy before that passed away.
 
They are requiring that I get a complete record of "Bills of sale" from the
factory to the original owner, then the transfer to the second owner, then
the transfer to me.  However, the guy I bought it from did not get a bill of
sale, neither did the guy who bought it from the factory.
 
What do I do?  I can't be the only one facing this!
 
The absolutely will not accept a hand written bill of sale from the guy I
bought it from.
 
Any thoughts from factory people?
 
This could jeopardize my entire project.
Tom
