2004 Registration

Oregon

Pilot registration - $8 /yr
Single engine fixed wing $50 /yr

Pilot registration???

Is this another case of States trying to take over Federal government?

and does that mean my Federal Pilot certificate is not valid in that state
if I don't pay their registration??

doubt it.. remind me not to move there...

WA is the same. They "require" you to register as a pilot and use the
revenue (mostly) to fund an airport directory book and a few other things.
I think any legal challenge would find that they have no authority to
require resident pilots to register in the state, but the fee has been low
enough that no one has groused much about it.

The fees are used to fund SAR operations, and the state aeronautics
board sends out a nice quarterly newsletter. I'm not even based in
Oregon, but I fly up there a lot so I register and pay the fee just to
receive the newsletter.

No. I don't think there is even any requirement to carry proof of
registration.

It would probably be a net win for you actually, since you wouldn't have
to pay NV property tax on your airframe. Oregon is pretty
aviation-friendly relative to most states, except for the weather.

you are probably correct in that assumption... but for the weather.. you
don't have to shovel sunshine... and the rain/fog is not a problem in
Southern NV

No take-over whatever. You submit your name, address, and I forget what
else but not a lot, plus the fee ($16/2 years) and they send you a card.
I have heard of no penalties, so far, but last legislative session, the
DoA was trying to get some teeth in enforcement written into the law.

Your federal certificate is still valid, of course.

The money goes to the Department of Aviation (not the general fund - we
have a semi-independent DoA) for search and rescue. Pretty cheap, if you
ask me, and certainly for a good cause.

ahh.. the contributions to a "good cause" that becomes mandatory on everyone
else.. and although just "peanuts" now.. once "teeth" get into it.. the true
cost of SAR goes into the calculations..

My Federal certificate is valid without a state certificate.
