CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N404 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: American Glider Association A (serial 1-A, cancelled March 28, 1930). 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

No NTSB investigation records located under N404. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
