Records check free · 1 to understand · 4 clear

The public federal record on N2985H, 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 Arizona Soaring INC, a corporation, certificate issued March 18, 1980, expires February 28, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 555 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N2985H was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Engineering & Research ERCOUPE 415-C (serial 3610, cancelled February 14, 1952). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N2985H. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
