The public federal record on N324AC, 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

NOTEAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N324AC was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Abraham/Collins GLASAIR (serial 143, cancelled June 10, 2013). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

2 documents received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (October 9, 2026), Loan release (October 13, 2026). [3]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N324AC. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms
