U.S. CHAIN OF
TITLE REPORT: $75
From the day it rolled out of the factory
door, someone owned this plane. This report will give you
insight into the complete ownership
history of the aircraft on file with the FAA. Who
owned it, where they lived and when they sold it to the
next owner. [Find out if it was really a "dry states"
aircraft!]
You'll receive the names of all
owners of the aircraft from the first day of registration
to the present, including address, type of transaction,
dates and conveyance information.
Please
note that a Chain of Title report does NOT include lien
information or 337's, nor any information on foreign ownership.

FAA FORM 337's on CD: $40
If you're not familiar
with them, the FAA Form 337 is required to be filed with
the FAA for any "major alterations
or repair" of an aircraft. Often they cover
the installation of a radio or an approved STC mod, but
sometimes they will reveal repairs
made after a major accident. If any 337's exist
on your future plane, you need to know it before
you buy!
Every
form 337 is recorded on a CD that is kept at the FAA Registry.
For only $39 you can have your own copy of this CD, and
review every page of the aircraft's alteration (or repair)
history at your leisure.

INTERNATIONAL
REGISTRY SEARCHES-
The "Capetown Convention"
If your aircraft is
type certificated to transport at least eight persons
(including crew) or goods in excess of 6,063 pounds, or
a helicopter certificated to transport at least five persons
or goods in excess of 992 pounds, or has a turbine or
piston engine(s) producing 550 or more rated takeoff horsepower
or 1,750+ lbs thrust, you need to consider an International
Aircraft Registry search. The International Registry
came into effect in March, 2006, and is an additional
layer of financial interest protection. It does
not take the place of FAA registration.
There is an informative
article on the Registry and regulations here.
