The public federal record on N3182M, 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 Songer Braydon, a co-owned, certificate issued February 13, 2019, expires February 28, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for balloon, dated April 12, 2007, consistent with the 2007 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 160 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N3182M was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Bell 206B (serial 3782, cancelled October 7, 1993); Piper PA-12 (serial 12-1858, cancelled June 12, 1970). 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 N3182M. 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.
