The public federal record on N26AN, 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.
Valid registration to Grasshopper Aviation INC, a corporation, certificate issued November 6, 2000, expires November 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated December 1, 1994, 7 years after the 1987 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 1G22656 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N26AN was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-31-310 (serial 31-57, cancelled May 4, 1982). 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) (October 20, 2026). [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N26AN. 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.
