How to Transfer Aircraft Title in Wyoming

Wyoming's vast open spaces, dude ranches, and national parks make aviation essential for reaching remote destinations. Jackson Hole Airport — the only commercial airport inside a national park — is one of the most dramatic approaches in the country. This guide covers the title transfer process.

FAA Is the Only Authority

Wyoming 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

High Altitude Considerations

Jackson Hole Airport sits at 6,451 feet MSL. Many Wyoming airports are at significant elevation. Verify density altitude performance carefully for any aircraft purchase intended for Wyoming operations.

Step-by-Step Process

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