The public federal record on N284G, 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

Valid registration to Gtn Aviation LLC, an LLC, certificate issued February 18, 2014, expires February 28, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated July 1, 1998, consistent with the 1998 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 217 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N284G was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Beech B19 (serial MB686, cancelled October 1, 1998). 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 N284G. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms
