AA-5 Traveler, Cheetah and Tiger family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.

The public federal record on N26406, 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.
Registration status is "Registration pending". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]
Standard certificate for normal, dated March 16, 1978, consistent with the 1978 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial AA5A0568 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N26406 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Stinson 10 (serial 7594, cancelled March 29, 1951). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (November 2, 2026). [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N26406. 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.
