The public federal record on N217W, 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 Shingleton Design LLC, an LLC, certificate issued December 24, 2013, expires December 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 23/U15 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N217W was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Air Creation GTE (serial 5111946, cancelled August 12, 2009); Stinson SM-7B (serial M-3003, cancelled August 1, 1939). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record
