The public federal record on N1227J, 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.

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N1227J was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Rockwell International 112A (serial 227, cancelled April 24, 1975). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record
