For how long is the pink copy of the C of R valid after the sale of an aircraft?

The pink copy of the Certificate of Registration (C of R) is valid for 60 days after the sale of an aircraft. This validity period serves a practical purpose, allowing the new owner to utilize the aircraft while processing the transfer of registration officially. During this time, the new owner can operate the aircraft legally, but it is important to understand that after 60 days, the pink copy no longer serves as valid proof of registration. After this period, the new owner must ensure that the registration is updated and that they receive the official Certificate of Registration in their name to comply with aviation regulations. The other timeframes mentioned do not align with the regulations governing aircraft registration.
