Records check free · 1 to understand · 4 clear

The public federal record on N26GK, 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

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal; acrobatic, dated March 14, 2024, consistent with the 2024 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 1214-2024 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N26GK was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Krohn Glen E CUB SPORT TRAINER (serial WA2309/20188, cancelled September 13, 2018). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [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 N26GK. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms
