The public federal record on N3055K, 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 Carter Mark A, an individual, certificate issued October 26, 2006, expires July 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated January 15, 2008, 8 years after the 2000 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial CH2-0401-CW-2074 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N3055K was previously assigned to 5 other aircraft: Martinez Anthony Louis GENESIS (serial 084, cancelled April 2, 2004); Raytheon Aircraft Company B200 (serial BB-1644, cancelled February 17, 1999); Beech 58 (serial TH1508, cancelled December 15, 1994). 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 8, 2026). [3]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N3055K. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms

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.

PENDINGAirworthiness directives and utilization

AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
