The public federal record on N38FC, 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 Eagle Aero INC, a corporation, certificate issued June 28, 2016, expires June 30, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated October 13, 1980, consistent with the 1980 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 18504145 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N38FC was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna A185F (serial 18502269, cancelled September 20, 1976). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

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

No NTSB investigation records located under N38FC. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms

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.

PENDINGAirworthiness directives and utilization
