The public federal record on N342MR, 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 Al-Sayyad Yasin, an individual, certificate issued January 9, 2024, expires January 31, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated April 7, 2021, 39 years after the 1982 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 3956 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N342MR according to the deregistered file. [2]
1 loan or lien document received by the registry recently (October 13, 2026). The full title and lien picture is in the FAA aircraft records file. [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N342MR. 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.
