Wisconsin Aircraft Registration Form PDF Details

The Wisconsin Aircraft Registration form, overseen by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, is an essential document for aircraft owners in Wisconsin, outlining a clear process for the registration and exemption of aircraft within the state. Aircraft based in Wisconsin are mandated to register unless they fall under specific exemptions, such as those severely damaged or those manufactured before 1955 and used solely for recreation or display, which are eligible for different fees or exemptions. The form is detailed, requiring information about the aircraft, including its FAA "N" number, make, model, and gross weight, alongside owner details such as legal name, address, and contact number. Furthermore, it encompasses various sections dedicated to determining the appropriate registration or exemption fee, accounting for tax computation on the purchase price, and specifying circumstances under which the aircraft might be considered unairworthy. It also accommodates applications for different types of registration, including those for amateur-built aircraft, antiques, restorations, and transfers, with fees varying based on the aircraft's weight and registration type (initial, municipal, museum, etc.). The requirement for timely submission within 30 days from the date of purchase, restoration, completed construction, or entry into Wisconsin, alongside penalties for late applications, underscores the emphasis on regulatory compliance. Additionally, the form allows for the potential proration of fees from the date of registration and stipulates the need for biennial registration for certain weight classes of aircraft, reflecting the varied fiscal responsibilities of aircraft owners within the state.
