The public federal record on N2888V, 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 Maedl Marcus A, an individual, certificate issued October 7, 2025, expires October 31, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for glider; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 32 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N2888V was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Cessna 150M (serial 15076312, cancelled August 17, 2015); Beech 35 (serial D-294, cancelled date not given). 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 N2888V. 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.
