The public federal record on N202JD, 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.

ATTENTIONRegistration and identity

Registration status is "Registration pending". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]

NOTEAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for balloon; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial S57A-3214 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

CLEARTail number reuse

No other airframe has carried N202JD according to the deregistered file. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (September 1, 2026). [3]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N202JD. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
