FAA Aircraft Registraion Requirement

UPDATE (5/3/2026): NOTICE TO ALL: With our latest Airspace Authorization (AA) from the FAA The club has been tasked to collect, record, and maintain for FAA review all pilots FAA aircraft registration numbers. I have included below the paragraph from their AA which dictates this. Failure to have these on hand if FAA asked for it could result in loss of our flying AA from the FAA. This is a formal request for you to send your FAA Aircraft Registration number and expiration date to me for recording. This must be done as soon as possible. If you do not have one you may get it at this web site in a matter of less than 15 minutes. “https://faadronezone-access.faa.gov/#/” DO NOT use any other site for registration, they are scammers. Click the close on the big orange pop up it does not apply to recreational flyers. Then click the “Create Account” button and create your account and get an FAA Registration number. It does cost, but is required for continued flying at our field. I will be creating the database that FAA requires and then our Secretary/Treasurer will maintain it. And before you ask I have already contacted AMA about this new requirement and was told Yes we must do it to maintain our AA with the FAA.

From the AA paragraph:
"The Responsible Person listed on this AA must maintain a current list of pilots by name and the aircraft registration number(s) associated with the AA holder’s operation. This list must be presented for inspection upon request from the Administrator or an authorized representative.”

Today is “Good Friday”, Sunday is EASTER! Easter is a time of renewal, filled with all the promises of spring’s arrival, the joy of Easter egg hunts for the children and the fun of the Easter bunny. It also has a deeper religious significance for many. It’s a season that celebrates both new beginnings and cherished traditions. I want to wish all of you and your and families a wonderful day filled with love, sunshine, and lots of chocolate Easter eggs! I hope you have an eggs-tra special Easter!, and may your Easter be filled with love, laughter, and moments that make your heart smile! May the miracle of Easter bring you perfect peace and happiness during the coming year.
