Will a title search at the FAA Aircraft Registry always reveal valid security interests?

A title search at the FAA Aircraft Registry is designed to provide information about security interests that have been properly filed and recorded with the FAA. Security interests, such as liens or mortgages, must be formally registered in order to be enforceable against third parties and to provide public notice of those interests. Therefore, a title search will only reveal those interests that are recorded with the FAA, and any security interests that have not been filed or are not part of the FAA registry will not be disclosed in the search results.

This mechanism ensures that individuals or entities considering the purchase or use of an aircraft can determine the existing claims against it, thereby preventing potential disputes over ownership or financial liability. The other options suggest circumstances or details that are inaccurate regarding the nature of the FAA registry and how security interests must be handled, emphasizing the importance of proper filing to make interests enforceable.
