The public federal record on N405BL, 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.

Registration status is "First notice for registration renewal". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Experimental certificate for operating light-sport kit-built, dated January 16, 2012, consistent with the 2011 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 010/2011 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

CLEARTail number reuse

No other airframe has carried N405BL according to the deregistered file. [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 N405BL. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms

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.

PENDINGAirworthiness directives and utilization
