Good evening everyone. I was hoping I could get some clear (non government) answers on the annual registration. From my research, it appears as though it's so confusing, I have no idea what they heck they're talking about. Sad part is, I have a Doctorate in Computer Science.
Basically, I can figure out complex calculations, then design, and build, highly complex electrical components to route satellite signals around the planet, but I can't understand how much I'll be charged annually for a private plane. I'm not looking for exact numbers, just a rough guesstimate on annual fees, and was hoping I could get some help with it. Is there an equation to solve this?
Let's see if I can fill in as many variables as possible in hopes that someone could provide some insight. I haven't purchased a plane yet, still in the shopping stage, and don't want to get in over my head without knowing what I'm getting into.
For a rough guess, let's say:
Plane Value: $50,000 USD
Plane Age: 1970 (55 years old)
State/County: California/Alameda County (yeah...I know, land of taxes)
Any assistance other than "don't buy one" would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
