The public federal record on N312, 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 Porter David R, an individual, certificate issued March 6, 2024, expires March 31, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 72629 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N312 was previously assigned to 4 other aircraft: Cessna R172E (serial R172-0030, cancelled May 20, 2013); Beech C18S (serial 4137, cancelled May 22, 1965); North American SNJ-4 (serial 10892, cancelled July 14, 1948).
