The public federal record on N2811M, 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.

ATTENTIONRegistration and identity

Registration status is "Sale reported". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated December 22, 1977, consistent with the 1977 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 28R-7837101 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N2811M was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-12 (serial 12-1175, cancelled August 18, 1970). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (September 15, 2026). [3]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N2811M. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
