The public federal record on N304K, 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 Sonic Automotive INC, a corporation, certificate issued July 28, 2023, expires July 31, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 304 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N304K was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Grumman G-159 (serial 75, cancelled January 4, 1978); Beech E18S (serial BA-72, cancelled September 21, 1961). 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 N304K. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
