The public federal record on N427CB, 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 Campbell Douglas J II, an individual, certificate issued August 31, 2024, expires August 31, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for balloon, dated April 15, 2016, consistent with the 2016 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 6778 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N427CB was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 182P (serial 18263475, cancelled August 25, 2009). 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 N427CB. 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.
