The public federal record on N20DN, 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 Nadler David R, an individual, certificate issued June 1, 2021, expires June 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Experimental certificate for racing; exhibition, dated June 26, 2021, consistent with the 2021 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 127 MP for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N20DN was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Nelson D W 1-DESIGN (serial 150, cancelled November 4, 2013); Socata TB-20 TRINIDAD (serial 582, cancelled June 20, 1989). 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 N20DN. 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.
