NBAA Webinar Explores Covid-19's Impact on FAA Registry
All documents that are mailed to the FAA Civil Aviation Registry are subject to a 72-hour quarantine, webinar panelists noted.

An NBAA webinar yesterday explored how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the submitting of documents on aircraft transactions to the FAA Civil Aviation Registry. Since the emergence of the virus in the U.S., the FAA has shut down physical access to the direct filing window within the public documents (PD) room at the regulator’s offices in Oklahoma City, limiting the ways to get registry documents filed with the agency to traditional mail or electronically, according to the webinar’s two panelists—Scott McCreary of McAffee & Taft law firm in Oklahoma City and Chris Younger of GKG Law in Washington, D.C. All documents that are mailed are also subject to a 72-hour quarantine, further delaying their processing and filing, they explained.
