(A) To perfect a lien that arises under section 1311.72 of the Revised Code, the person claiming the lien shall make and file for record with the United States federal aviation administration an affidavit verified under oath that includes the amount owed to the lien claimant for the labor or materials, a description of the aircraft that reasonably identifies it including the manufacturer, model, serial number, and registration number of the aircraft, the name of the person for whom the labor was performed or the materials were furnished, the name of the owner of the aircraft, if known, the name and address of the lien claimant, the date that the lien claimant or his employee last performed any labor upon or furnished any materials for the aircraft, the date that the lien claimant surrendered possession of the aircraft, if he surrendered it, and the name and address of the person who prepared the affidavit.

An agent of the lien claimant may sign the affidavit for the lien claimant, provided that the agent states his capacity with respect to the lien claimant. A lien claimant is considered to have filed for record with the United States federal aviation administration an affidavit upon receipt of the affidavit by the United States federal aviation administration as evidenced by a certified mail return receipt.
