The public federal record on N257MF, 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.

ATTENTIONRegistration and identity

Registration status is "Non-citizen corporation that has not returned its flight-hour reports". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Experimental certificate for unmanned aircraft, research and development; unmanned aircraft, market survey; unmanned aircraft, crew training, dated November 9, 2022, consistent with the 2021 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 0002 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

CLEARTail number reuse

No other airframe has carried N257MF according to the deregistered file. [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 N257MF. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms
