The public federal record on N12BD, 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 Chaos Aviation LLC, an LLC, certificate issued August 26, 2025, expires August 31, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for normal; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial G-116 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N12BD was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Martin-Brooks BD-4 (serial 12, cancelled April 10, 2013). 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 N12BD. 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.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
