## Handbooks and manuals 

The FAA publishes a series of handbooks and manuals designed for aircraft, general aviation en- thusiasts, examiners, and inspectors. You can find most of these handbooks and manuals, including Plane Sense , on the FAA website at www.faa.gov by selecting “Regulations & Policies” from the main menu bar. 

## Aircraft records 

The FAA Civil Aviation Registry Aircraft Registration Branch (AFS-750) maintains registration records on individual aircraft and serves as a warehouse for airworthiness documents received from FAA field offices. You can access information on requesting aircraft records, as well as current fee information, on the FAA website at www.faa.gov by selecting “Licenses & Certificates” from the main menu bar. 

## Request Aircraft Records 

You can mail or fax your request for aircraft records to AFS-750, or submit your request online. 

Written requests from outside the United States must include a check or money order (in U.S. funds) payable to the FAA to cover the projected fee. You can obtain the correct fee by contacting AFS-750. AFS-750 contact information is available at the end of this chapter in Figure 11-1 , FAA Records Checklist, and in the FAA Contact Information appendix on pages A1–A2 of this handbook. 

## Format 

You can order paper copies or electronic copies (on CD-ROM) of aircraft records. Each CD-ROM con- tains one aircraft record. You can view the CD-ROM files using Adobe Acrobat Reader. The FAA includes a copy of the latest reader on the CD-ROM. 

Most records for aircraft removed from the U.S. Civil Aircraft Register before 1984 are in storage and available only in paper format. You can ask the FAA to retrieve these records.
