The public federal record on N252MT, 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 Aero Quest LLC, an LLC, certificate issued October 10, 2025, expires October 31, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for utility, dated October 12, 1977, consistent with the 1977 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 15280407 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N252MT was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Mooney Aircraft Corp. M20K (serial 251152, cancelled February 23, 1989). 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

No NTSB investigation records located under N252MT. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
