How to Transfer Aircraft Title in Utah

Utah's dramatic red rock landscapes, high desert terrain, and world-class ski resorts make it a unique aviation state. High altitude airports are common, and the scenery from the air is unmatched. This guide covers the title transfer process.

FAA Governs All Transfers

Utah has no state aircraft title process separate from 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

High Altitude Considerations

Utah's airports range from Salt Lake City (4,226 ft) to higher mountain strips. Density altitude performance is critical — verify aircraft performance specs carefully before purchase.

Step-by-Step Process

Step 1: Search registry.faa.gov. Step 2: Pre-purchase inspection with altitude performance verification. Step 3: Seller completes Form 8050-2. Step 4: Buyer completes Form 8050-1, mails with $5. Step 5: Carry pink copy.
