How to Transfer Aircraft Title in Georgia
Georgia's aviation scene spans from Atlanta's massive Hartsfield-Jackson to quiet grass strips in the north Georgia mountains. Whether you're transacting in Peachtree City — home to the world's largest ultralight community at Falcon Field — or anywhere else in the Peach State, this guide covers the title transfer process.
FAA Governs All Transfers
Georgia has no state aircraft title process. All transfers go through the FAA Civil Aviation Registry.
What You'll Need
- FAA Form 8050-2 (Bill of Sale)
- FAA Form 8050-1 (Aircraft Registration Application)
- $5 FAA registration fee
- Lien release if applicable
Step-by-Step Process
Step 1: Title search at registry.faa.gov. Step 2: Pre-purchase inspection — Georgia humidity can cause corrosion on older aircraft. Step 3: Seller completes Form 8050-2. Step 4: Buyer completes Form 8050-1 and mails with Bill of Sale and $5. Step 5: Carry pink copy as temporary registration.
