Does an aircraft’s registration certificate have an expiration date?
all initial aircraft registration issued on or after October 1, 2010 ,will expire three years after the last day of the month in witch they were issued .

the PIC of a civil aircraft is responsible for determining whether that aircraft is in condition for safe flight
what records or document should be checked to determine that the owner or operator of an aircraft has complied with all required inspection and airworthiness directives?
the maintenance records (aircraft and engine logbook)
what regulations apply concerning the operation of an aircraft that has had alterations or repairs which may have substantially affected its operation in flight ?
no person may operate or carry passenger in any aircraft that has undergone maintenance , preventative maintenance , rebuilding ,or alteration that may have appreciably changed its flight characteristics or substantially affected its operation in flight until an appropriately rated pilot with at least a private pilot certificate . a . flies the aircraft . b. makes an operational check of the maintenance performed or alteration made ; and . c. logs the flight in the aircraft records .
