Records check free · 1 to understand · 4 clear

The public federal record on N4177M, 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 Brandl Farms LLC, an LLC, certificate issued May 13, 2026, expires May 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 12516 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N4177M was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-12 (serial 12-3069, cancelled December 4, 1951). 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]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N4177M. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms
