I searched the archives of RAS but didn't find anything on this. If an aircraft owner fails to re-register the registration and the FAA shows it expired on their website, what is required to get the registration restored and has anybody had this experience? How painful was it?



I'm not in this situation, but may be looking at a glider with expired registration.

The FAA website has guidance on this. If it has been out of register long enough, the number may have been reassigned. This make the job more complicated because a new airworthiness certificate will be needed.
