The public federal record on N20781, 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 Sells Lloyd D, an individual, certificate issued June 15, 2012, expires June 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated January 31, 2001, 4 years after the 1997 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 001 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N20781 was previously assigned to 3 other aircraft: Gordon Charles D CHALLENGER II (serial CH20589W0426, cancelled June 19, 1996); Cessna C-165 (serial 469, cancelled May 28, 1948); Cessna 172M (serial 17263835, cancelled date not given). 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 N20781. 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.
