The public federal record on N4021, 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 Nighthawk N8231G LLC, an LLC, certificate issued May 14, 2025, expires May 31, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated January 23, 2025, 46 years after the 1979 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 17272149 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N4021 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Sanchez CHEROKEE II (serial FS-100, cancelled May 24, 2012); Alexander Aircraft Co COMBINATION EAGLEROC (serial 412, cancelled August 23, 1929). 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
