Permanent attached Fireproof Data Plate with 
		Builder's Name (Make), Model Designation, and Builder's Serial Number.

The above info MUST match the registration info that is on the 8050-3 that 
comes from Oklahoma City.

The MODEL and Serial Number can be anything that you like but the only mode
l with the serial number that you assign. If your aircraft is an RV-?, then
 it is best to use the builder's number that Van's assigned. IF you purchas
e a kit from Van but register it as "YOUR NAME Special", the S/N can be any
thing you want or the number that Van assigned.

The Kit Bill of Sale you get from Van's has the Model and S/N. The bill of
sale is now (since ~2000) required for the registration process for a kit
plane. I'd guess their requirement to leave at least one unchanged was to
maintain a paper trail between the KBOS and registration. There are probably
ways around the Kit Bill of Sale since AFAIK it's an FAA Order and not in
the regs. But when you're that close to completion, who wants to fight the
bureaucracy?

Color me sceptical, but I haven't registered anything recently so I 
don't know.  For sales tax reasons I'm not going to register it as 
anything resembling a kit plane.  And I bought 'aircraft materials' from 
another builder.  What about the guy that builds an airplane from 
scratch???  Maybe 'das fed' will chime in here and comment???

Actually, the fed DOES want you to use van's type designation and serial number.
They want it that way so that it is easier to compile accident / safety stats.
Apparently, making a note in their report that the Whiz-Bang 5000 was actually
kitted as an RV-x is more than they can achieve.  However, the pertinent
thing here is that they WANT you to do that.  You don't HAVE to do that.  You

Subject: RV-List: The FAA, County of Regsistration,Zip Code and Taxes

I recently went through three years of fight with the tax man due to a 
quirk of Zip code zoning and the FAA (apparently in complying with the 
demand of states who want to tax your airplane) that some of you may 
want to know about.

The adjacent county has a large city with the typical heavy tax burden 
on its citizens - three years ago I started receiving a tax notice for 
some unspecified personal  property  that supposedly resided in their 
county.

It took me two years to discover that the personal properly they were 
trying to tax was indeed my aircraft.  Despite  correspondence with the 
tax authorities to the effect that I was not/had never been a resident 
and did not/never had any personal property in their county.  The 
harassment persisted.  I then went to the on-line aircraft registration 
data and sure enough - the FAA had put my aircraft in their county!!!

To make a long, long story shorter, it turns out that even thought there 
was no place on the FAA aircraft registration form for county, the FAA 
decided to added it to your registration record based on your postal zip 
code.  Now, normally that probably works OK, but in my case, and I 
suspect others out there it turns out my postal zip code is for a town 
in the adjacent county - yep,  the high tax zone.  They scanned the FAA 
registration rolls for their county and got a hit on me.  

I finally got the FAA to change my aircraft registration county to the 
correct county, but am still being pestered by the tax authorities.  If 
this does not change by next tax year, I am considering a harassment 
lawsuit against the tax authority - Yes, its changed in the FAA records, 
but it is probably forever embedded in this county's tax computer {:<(.  


So the message is -  check your aircraft registration data on file at 
the FAA  http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_inquiry.asp

to make certain the information reflects the correct county (or any 
other pertinent information)  for your aircraft (this assumes you want 
it to reflect the correct information {:>))

Ed -

Excellent point.  The FAA updates there records much faster now and it is very
important to check to see they get it right.  This includes your airman record.
About 2 years ago they started "red flagging" registrations that were not completed
properly.  If a registration is incomplete or has an error they will
attach a warning on it.  I think (not confirmed) they require any inconsistencies
to be cleared up or you could face a violation - not sure how severe, but
possible. 

While we are on the topic of registrations, everyone should also remember the name
and address on your registration should match your insurance policy.  It makes
it that much easier in the event of a claim or loss.

Tim, someplace on the FAA cite there is an e mail form to contact the

You might try it or search their site - I can't seem to locate the e

  A good point Rob, had not the county I resided in with my aircraft not had 
a much lower tax rate - I, urhmm... might not been as vigorous in having the 
record corrected {:>).  But, ultimately, you could have two tax authorities 
after your $$$.  In several local counties, the local government has sent 
forms to each airport manager requiring them to list all aircraft that 
reside on the airport.  My airport manager recently received such a form and 
apparently feels legally bound to comply with it.

Ralph,

Per FAR 45 there are only three things required on the airframe dataplate. 
 The Make, model, and serial number are those three things.  Anything else 
is up to you.

On a similar note... several years back I started receiving property tax
notices for a plane I had tied down at our local airport. You know the
typical row of bug smashers left exposed to the elements. It turns out
that every year between 12/15 and 12/31 a tax assessor drives the
airport writing down all tail numbers. I am sure they connect the dots
as to the owners and schedule a property tax bill. 
A year later I sold that plane and purchased a big hangar that now has 3
of my 5 planes (don't ask...) I have never received a tax bill for these
aircraft simply because my N Numbers are out of sight. 
Basically all the small, relatively inexpensive aircraft owners are
being taxed while all the expensive iron sitting in their comfy, clean
hangars get a free ride.
Obviously some of the hangar owners are paying the proper aircraft taxes
but who knows.
We need a radically simplified tax system.

How about No Tax, at all.  We now pay tax upon tax,  tax on the fuel we burn, tax
on the truck the delivers the fuel, tax on the fuel that the trucked used to
bring the fuel,  tax on the tires that the truck that delivered the fuel. the
refinery that produced the fuel is taxed, along with the men and equipment that
is used to make the fuel.  Taxed on the raw fuel so as to be able to bring
it into the country. not to mention all the other taxes that are applied to some
of the avionics,  some where their prob is a break down of how much tax and
the percentages played would the value be.
