The public federal record on N4035P, 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 Bristol David W, an individual, certificate issued December 3, 1997, expires January 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for balloon, dated February 14, 1985, consistent with the 1985 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 154 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N4035P was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Hiller UH-12 (serial 5197, cancelled August 31, 1982); Piper PA-23-160 (serial 23-1511, cancelled June 6, 1973). 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]
No NTSB investigation records located under N4035P. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [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.
