I'm already frustrated, and I haven't even flown the damn thing.
I've enlisted the services of
AIC Title Service [
aictitleservice.com] to help with the decertification process that is going very, very, very slowly.
These folks are great...they got more done in one day than I can do in a month. Within 2 hours, someone from the FAA called ME...and clarified what the heck they need to get this puppy decertified in the states.
The issue isn't getting the loan discharged. With all of the mergers of the mom and pop banks in the US, the problem is "proving" to the FAA that M&T Bank actually has the ability to release loans on some bank the M&T bought in the '70s. The proof must delivered in a very official format...and if it's not...that airplane will be grounded for another month.
