The public federal record on N27W, 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 Lester John M, an individual, certificate issued December 18, 2023, expires December 31, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial L5224 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N27W was previously assigned to 3 other aircraft: Taylorcraft DCO-65 (serial 5721, cancelled May 16, 2024); Fairchild F-27J (serial 123, cancelled May 17, 1968); Eyerly Aircraft Corp EYERLY COUPE (serial 4, cancelled September 1, 1939). 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]
No NTSB investigation records located under N27W. 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.
