The public federal record on N10BE, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.
Valid registration to Bearden David Christopher, an individual, certificate issued May 25, 2017, expires May 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Experimental certificate for exhibition; racing, dated May 11, 2001, consistent with the 2000 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 6234 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N10BE was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Szybowcowy Zaklad Doswiadczaln SZD-38A JANTAR-1 (serial B677, cancelled October 26, 1977). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
No bills of sale, loans or releases have reached the registry in recent weeks. The index covers only recent filings; older liens are in the records file. [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N10BE. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.
