The public federal record on N3859M, 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.
Registration status is "Registration pending". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]
Standard certificate for normal; utility; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 28-7890336 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N3859M was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-12 (serial 12-2576, cancelled January 7, 1960). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (September 30, 2026). [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N3859M. 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.
