The public federal record on N17KA, 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 Tindeland Steve T, an individual, certificate issued December 20, 2022, expires December 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for normal, dated January 14, 2000, consistent with the 2000 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 20-0044 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N17KA was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Beech C90 (serial LJ1138, cancelled January 8, 1997); Piper PA-32-260 (serial 321066, cancelled September 21, 1982). 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 N17KA. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
