The public federal record on N3280Q, 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 Dakota Acre Farms INC, a corporation, certificate issued March 28, 2024, expires March 31, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated August 23, 2005, 25 years after the 1980 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]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 328006071 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N3280Q was previously assigned to 3 other aircraft: Piper PA-32-300 (serial 32-7840122, cancelled May 28, 2003); Cessna 180H (serial 18051667, cancelled December 1, 1982); Cessna 401 (serial 401-0080, cancelled November 26, 1967). 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]

CLEARAccident and incident record
