To obtain a release of lien on Airplanes, Aircraft Engines or
Propellers, please provide us with the following required
document(s):
- A copy of a Title Report from a Aircraft Title Agency
for the aircraft that you are requesting the release on. The copy
must be readable and clearly show the Debtor's Name,
Secured Party or Lienholder's Name, the FAA Registration Number,
Aircraft Serial Number, Aircraft Manufacturer and Model, the date of
the Security Conveyance, the date of the recording of the Security
Conveyance, and the Conveyance Number. Please note that a
registration certificate is not the same as a title report and is
not acceptable.
Please remember that FDIC can only accept a release request when the
lienholder is a Bank or Savings and Loan Institution that failed and
has been placed in FDIC receivership, OR, a Subsidiary of a Failed
Bank or Savings and Loan. If you're not sure, please call the DRR
Customer Service Center toll-free at 888-206-4662 (Dallas, TX) or for the western states 877-875-4744 (Irvine, CA).
It is highly suggested you also provide the following
documents, if available:
- Proof that the loan was paid in full. Proof of Payoff may
include such things as a copy of a "PAID" Note,
copies of payment checks, or anything else that would
indicate payment. This will greatly reduce the amount of research
time and expedite our handling of your request.
