The public federal record on N3516A, 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 Airplane 2 LLC, an LLC, certificate issued November 19, 2025, expires November 30, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for normal, dated April 20, 1979, consistent with the 1979 manufacture year. [1]
