The public federal record on N2300X, 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 Stafford Wesley Shane, an individual, certificate issued February 22, 2025, expires February 29, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Experimental certificate for amateur built, dated July 2, 2017, consistent with the 2017 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 52 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N2300X was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 182 (serial 18256200, cancelled June 11, 1976). 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 N2300X. 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.
