The public federal record on N321V, 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 Avia Flight Academy LLC, an LLC, certificate issued November 19, 2024, expires November 30, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated September 20, 2024, 56 years after the 1968 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]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 28-4665 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N321V was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Glaser-Dirks DG-400 (serial 4-149, cancelled September 29, 2014); Granville Brothers Aircraft GEE BEE (serial P-3, cancelled August 20, 1943). 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]
1 NTSB record under N321V: Accident on June 14, 1997 at Weston, OR: no injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [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.
