Airplanes with 8 seats or more (including the crew) or equivalent cargo space;

Helicopters with 5 seats or more (including the crew) or equivalent cargo space;

Engines capable of generating 550 Shaft Horsepower (or more) should be researched.

A quick word about why the US Title Research Report is separated from the IR Research Report. We can determine if something new has been recently added to the FAA records without incurring additional costs making it easy to bring US reports up to date immediately before a closing; however, the only way to confirm nothing new has been entered at the IR is to pull a new search certificate for which a fee is incurred; therefore in closing and escrow situations when the Seller is confident that there are no interests registered, the IR report is delayed until a day or two before closing to minimize the Gap time between the IR report and the Closing. Also, by separating the reports, customers who object to the IR may refuse those reports. If you would prefer a ‘combination US/IR Research Report, please let us know, as it is possible for us to combine the reports into a single report if you prefer.

When you order an International Research Report from Dixie Aire Title Service, Inc., our Specialist will obtain a Priority Search Certificate from the International Registry website based on the description you have provided. (See note regarding descriptions below)

The researcher will audit the entries and prepare a report reflecting the NEWEST Contract of Sale and any un-discharged International Interests. In the case of Airframes, our research will also compare the entries registered against any Authorization Codes issued. While our reports are issued in typed report form, if you would like a copy of the actual search certificate (s), we will happily provide it/them upon request.

Note regarding descriptions: The International Registry requested that aircraft and engine manufacturers provide them with description information to populate their system. Some of the manufacturers cooperated and some did not. Some of the descriptions provided do not resemble the data-plate description of the aircraft. A good example of this discrepancy is DeHavilland provided approximately three total descriptions for their aircraft and formatted them as DE HAVILLAND DASH 8 rather than DeHavilland DHC-8… They did not provide a description for the DHC-6 series at all and some of those do qualify under the “protocol’; therefore, you may receive an “IR Research Report reflecting a description which appears quite different that the U.S. description. If a manufacturer does not provide a description, there is an option to ‘free text’ entries. This may cause there to be more than one Search Certificate which appears to match the information provided. The IR will charge us for each Search Certificate we review and those costs will be passed on to you.

1. The registration number, make model and serial number of the airframe.

2. If engines or propellers are involved (which generate 550 s. h. p. or more), you will need their make, model and serial number(s) as they have separate records. Separate reports and costs will be generated.

3. Tell us how you would like the information forwarded to you (i.e. fax, e-mail or courier).

4. If it will help your bookkeeper, we will be happy to insert a reference (i.e. your customer’s name or client/matter number) on the report.

5. Prepayment information, Discover, Master-card or Visa are accepted. You may also request wiring instructions to wire your payment.
