The public federal record on N411FA, 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 Orange County Fire Authority, a government body, certificate issued July 10, 2024, expires July 31, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Experimental certificate for research and development, dated February 2, 2024, consistent with the 2022 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 704119 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N411FA was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 172S (serial 172S9411, cancelled May 26, 2011). 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 N411FA. 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.
