The public federal record on N2817, 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 Sparrowhawk21 LLC, an LLC, certificate issued September 20, 2022, expires September 30, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Experimental certificate for racing; exhibition; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 127 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N2817 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Kersting Eugene B-8ME (serial 7449, cancelled September 12, 1980); Curtiss JN4D (serial 3600, cancelled November 6, 1928). 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 N2817. 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.
