The public federal record on N2556R, 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.

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 31T-8004003 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N2556R was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-28-180 (serial 28-5647, cancelled August 11, 1970). 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]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N2556R. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
