Recording of Aircraft Conveyances and Security Documents

This information collection is mandatory for any person or entity releasing a security conveyance. When an aircraft owner satisfies their debt, 14 CFR Part 49.17, “Conveyances recorded”, mandates that the security holder report the satisfaction of the security conveyance to the FAA Civil Aviation Registry (Aircraft Registry). When the Aircraft Registry records a security conveyance, an AC Form 8050-41 Notice of Recordation, is prepared by an Examiner to display the collateral, parties, and recording information. The form is mailed to the security holder. When the debt is satisfied the security holder completes Part II, Release, at the bottom of the AC Form 8050-41; a security holder signature and date is required to signify release of the debt. The security holder mails the form to the Aircraft Registry so that the interest in the aircraft shows to be released. The security holder may submit the same information without using the form, if desired. This form is not available for download since an FAA Examiner has to fill in the information.

The latest form for Recording of Aircraft Conveyances and Security Documents expires 2026-08-31 and is listed under ICR 202205-2120-004.
