The public federal record on N40428, 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 H and M Flying Service LLC, an LLC, certificate issued February 1, 2024, expires February 28, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Restricted certificate for agriculture and pest control, dated March 28, 2005, consistent with the 2005 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial T34-274 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N40428 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Balloon Works FIREFLY 7 (serial 7863, cancelled August 27, 1979). 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 N40428. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
