The Federal Aviation Administration is missing key information on who
owns one-third of the 357,000 private and commercial aircraft in the
U.S. — a gap the agency fears could be exploited by terrorists and
drug traffickers.
The records are in such disarray that the FAA says it is worried that
criminals could buy planes without the government's knowledge, or use
the registration numbers of other aircraft to evade new computer
systems designed to track suspicious flights. It has ordered all
aircraft owners to re-register their planes in an effort to clean up
its files.
About 119,000 of the aircraft on the U.S. registry have "questionable
registration" because of missing forms, invalid addresses, unreported
sales or other paperwork problems, according to the FAA. In many
cases, the FAA cannot say who owns a plane or even whether it is still
flying or has been junked.
