From the AOPA website:
What???
Read the whole article here: http://www.aopa.org/aircraft/articles/2008/080229registration.htmlRight now, the one-time aircraft registration fee is $5. While the re-registration proposal applies the $5 fee to its recurrent renewal, the agency has made it clear that it wants to increase the fee. That could be a $130 initial registration fee and a $130 renewal fee every three years.
Aircraft re-registration hasn’t been required for three decades. From 1970 to 1978, the FAA had an annual aircraft re-registration cycle. Now, nearly one third of the 343,000 U.S. aircraft registrations are possibly invalid.
