A biplane of the 1920s and 1930s: steel-tube fuselage, wooden wings, fabric covering. This is how the Nicholas Beazley NB-8 family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.

The public federal record on N436V, 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 Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum, a corporation, certificate issued December 26, 2019, expires December 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 19, 2024, 93 years after the 1931 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 K-1 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N436V according to the deregistered file. [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 N436V. 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.
