Records check free · 1 to understand · 3 clear

The public federal record on N2040T, 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 Turlington Jerry K, an individual, certificate issued November 1, 2004, expires November 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [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 339 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N2040T was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Cameron Balloons Us N-90 (serial 5391, cancelled November 26, 2001); Schweizer SGS 2-33A (serial 470, cancelled date not given). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

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]

CLEARAccident and incident record
