The public federal record on N1246V, 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.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to Gifford Jeremy C, an individual, certificate issued April 1, 2020, expires April 30, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N1246V was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Consolidated C-87 (serial 44-10583, cancelled December 4, 1951). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N1246V. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
