The public federal record on N40039, 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.

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N40039 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piaggio P.136-L2 (serial 238, cancelled January 4, 1971). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N40039. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
