A-R-R-O-W Update
  
Do you know your ARROW? Before you fly, ensure that you have all of the required documentation on board your aircraft. You, as pilot in command, are responsible for carrying the following documentation in the aircraft at all times:

A ~ Airworthiness Certificate

R ~ Registration Certificate

R ~ Radio Station License (Federal Communications Communication (FCC) Radio Station License, if required by the type of operation)

O ~ Operating Limitations (which may be in the form of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) and/or Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH))

W ~ Weight and Balance Documents


FAA Registration Certificate
The Registration Certificate has undergone some changes. Required by FAR 91.203, Civil aircraft: certifications required, "no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it has within it ... an effective U.S. registration certificate issued to its owner," there has not, until recently, been an expiration date on the registration certificate to check during a preflight A-R-R-O-W check.  In an effort to create a more accurate aircraft registration database, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has published the final ruling for Docket No. FAA-2008-0188, requiring re-registration of all civil aircraft over the next three years and renewal every three years after that. Over the next 3 years, this rule establishes a system to terminate the registration for aircraft registered before October 1, 2010, re-register the aircraft, issue a new registration card to carry in the aircraft, and set up the 3-year renewal date, which is clearly indicated on the new format of the registration document.
  
What this means for the pilot population is that there will be a mixture of aircraft registration documents for the next 2 1/2 years, some with the expiration date imprinted and some without. 
  
The FAA estimates that approximately one-third of the 357,000 registered aircraft records it maintains are inaccurate and that many aircraft associated with those records are likely ineligible for United States registration. The new regulations also will ensure that aircraft owners give the FAA fresh information at least once every three years when they renew their registration. The FAA will cancel the N-numbers of aircraft that are not re-registered or renewed.
