    Default Aircraft Registry Problem

    The FAA Registry for my N number has no data in the Airworthiness Section. The A/W Date shows "None".

    Not really a problem (I have original Airworthiness Certificate and Limitations) but for I could not reserve my $500 ADS-B Rebate online...gives me an error as the FAA database does not have my date of manufacture.

    FSDO DAR in Spokane/Yakima issued the Airworthiness Cert in 2007 but somehow it never made it to FAA Database in Oklahoma City.

    When I asked why FAA allowed N number registration without airworthiness incl, I was told that they issue N numbers in advance for experimental not knowing how long it will take for builder to complete. Sort of like getting a SSN for your yet unborn child!

    Getting the info from the Airworthiness Cert onto the registry appears to be a big pain..the DAR I spoke to was unsure how to do it. He just said my local FSDO would probably write a letter to OKC..maybe a plane inspection required.

    Cubcrafters nor AOPA's aerotek in OKC could help. 5 hours on phone and emails so far.

    Lots of hoops to jump thru to get their $500.

    One thing for sure..that original Airworthiness Cert in the plane is VERY valuable..as without info in the database, the cert is only doc proving plane is or ever was airworthy!!

    Thinking this might be the time to go E-LSA.

    Anyone else experience this?
