Records check free · 1 to understand · 4 clear

The public federal record on N404UA, 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 United Airlines INC, a corporation, certificate issued June 28, 2017, expires June 30, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for transport, dated January 26, 1994, consistent with the 1993 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 450 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N404UA was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Airbus Industrie A300 B4-2C (serial 065, cancelled March 9, 1989). 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 N404UA. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms
