Records check free · 1 to understand · 4 clear

The public federal record on N3ZA, 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.

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N3ZA was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Learjet Inc 23 (serial 23024, cancelled May 18, 1991). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

CLEARAccident and incident record
