How to Transfer Aircraft Title in Nevada
Nevada's desert terrain, minimal VFR weather restrictions, and Las Vegas aviation hub make it an active state for aircraft transactions. This guide covers the complete title transfer process.
FAA Governs All Transfers
Nevada has no state aircraft title process. All transfers go through the FAA.
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: Search registry.faa.gov. Step 2: Pre-purchase inspection. Nevada's desert environment is generally good for aircraft but extreme heat can affect rubber components and avionics cooling. Step 3: Seller completes Form 8050-2. Step 4: Buyer completes Form 8050-1, mails with $5. Step 5: Carry pink copy.
