The public federal record on N2857P, 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; utility, dated May 23, 1979, consistent with the 1979 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 28-7990501 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N2857P was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-22-150 (serial 22-3157, cancelled June 21, 1973). 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 10, 2026). [3]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N2857P. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
