What an aircraft ownership transfer is
Every civil aircraft in Brazil has a registered owner in the Registro Aeronáutico Brasileiro, the RAB, kept by the ANAC. When an aircraft changes hands, a handshake and the keys are not enough: the title has to be transferred on the register. Until the process is complete, the aircraft remains, for every legal purpose, in the former owner’s name.
This is exactly where well made deals turn into headaches. The seller paperwork, the buyer paperwork, the standing of the aircraft itself and the correct formalization of the deal all have to line up. One detail out of place, one signature in the wrong format or one unresolved item is enough to stall the process while the clock runs.
For anyone who does not live in aviation paperwork every day, this path is full of silent traps. For us it is routine. Flap treats the transfer with the same technical seriousness it gives an aircraft: nothing is left to improvisation.

Frequently asked questions
What is an aircraft ownership transfer in Brazil?
It is the process by which title to an aircraft passes formally from one owner to another before the Registro Aeronáutico Brasileiro (RAB), the ANAC body responsible for registering civil aircraft. Until the transfer is complete, the aircraft remains, for every legal purpose, in the former owner’s name. That is why the records stage is as critical as the commercial negotiation.
Why does the transfer usually turn into a headache?
Because it means coordinating several fronts at once: the seller paperwork, the buyer paperwork, the standing of the aircraft with the RAB and the ANAC, any open items and the correct formalization of the deal. A single incomplete document, a signature outside the required format or one unresolved item can stall the whole process. Anyone not doing this daily loses time and takes on risk.
Does Flap Pantaneiro run the whole process or only advise?
We run it end to end. We organize the paperwork, follow the case with the RAB and the ANAC, anticipate open items and keep buyer and seller informed at every stage. The aim is the least friction possible for the owner and the greatest certainty that the transfer will be completed correctly.
How long does an aircraft transfer take?
The time depends on the records status of the aircraft, on the parties involved and on the volume of cases under review at the agency. We do not promise a fixed deadline: we work with organization, active follow up and early handling of open items so the case moves as fast as its own reality allows. For an estimate on your specific case, talk to our team.
Which documents are required to transfer an aircraft?
In broad terms, the process requires personal or corporate documents from the parties, the aircraft paperwork itself and the formalization of the legal act behind the transfer. The exact list depends on the buyer profile, the seller profile and the status of the aircraft. Flap builds and organizes that list for your specific case, which avoids back and forth.
I bought the aircraft through Flap. Is the transfer already included?
