The public federal record on N165DS, 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 Textron Aviation INC, a corporation, certificate issued March 6, 2024, expires March 31, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for transport, dated September 25, 2014, consistent with the 2014 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 560-6175 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N165DS was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Diamond Aircraft DA 40 (serial 40.540, cancelled March 30, 2010). 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 N165DS. 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.
