Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump exits his Cessna jet in Muscatine, Iowa, Jan. 24., 2016. Trump has crisscrossed the country over the last several months making dozens of campaign stops in places, often in his sleek Cessna jet, but records kept with the FAA show the aircraft’s registration lapsed on Jan. 31, which could mean it will be grounded for days or even longer as the issue is sorted out.

Over the past several months, Donald J. Trump has crisscrossed the country making dozens of campaign stops in places like Sioux City, Iowa, and Jackson, Miss., often in his sleek Cessna jet. There is just one hitch: The plane's registration is expired.
Records kept with the Federal Aviation Administration show the aircraft's registration lapsed on Jan. 31. Laura J. Brown, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration, confirmed that the plane's registration was not in good standing and said the owner had not renewed it.
With few exceptions, aircraft must be registered in order to fly. Mr. Trump's plane could be grounded for several days, or even months, while the issue is sorted out. In the event of an accident, the company that insures the plane could use the expired registration as a reason to decline any claims.
