The public federal record on N42KD, 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 Dannenberg Kenneth H, an individual, certificate issued May 19, 1975, expires May 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated July 2, 1980, 3 years after the 1977 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial KD-1 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N42KD according to the deregistered file. [2]
1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (September 29, 2026). [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N42KD. 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.
