The public federal record on N2649B, 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 Graham Austin J, an individual, certificate issued August 22, 2024, expires August 31, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

NOTEAirworthiness certificate

Experimental certificate for registered before jan 31, 2008; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 0692236 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N2649B was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Aero Commander 560-A (serial 362, cancelled July 8, 1988). 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 N2649B. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
