The public federal record on N321DC, 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 Airtime Equipment LLC, an LLC, certificate issued February 15, 2024, expires February 28, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

NOTEAirworthiness certificate

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 792 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N321DC was previously assigned to 3 other aircraft: East Tennessee Pilots Club STARDUSTER II (serial 389, cancelled May 16, 2011); Duncan Andrew N STOLP STARDUSTER TOO (serial 001, cancelled June 25, 2008); Christine Daniel P NIEUPORT 11 (serial 829, cancelled May 5, 1999). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
