The public federal record on N4028K, 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.
Valid registration to Maridon Joseph R, a co-owned, certificate issued September 8, 2026, expires September 30, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 025 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N4028K was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Hiller UH-12E (serial 5069, cancelled January 18, 2018); North American NAVION A (serial NAV-4-1028, cancelled October 4, 1955). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
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]
1 NTSB record under N4028K: Accident on July 5, 1983 at Brooten, MN: no injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [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.
