The public federal record on N31778, 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 Gough Clarke A, an individual, certificate issued February 26, 2022, expires February 28, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Experimental certificate for registered before jan 31, 2008; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 16516 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N31778 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Boeing-Vertol 234 (serial B700, cancelled April 2, 1976). 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 N31778. 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.
