The public federal record on N44228, 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

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal; utility, dated July 11, 1974, consistent with the 1974 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 28-7405231 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N44228 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Taylorcraft BC12-D1 (serial 10028, cancelled September 20, 1960). 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 N44228. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
