The public federal record on N445DF, 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 Usda Forest Service Fepp, a government body, certificate issued June 19, 2002, expires July 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Restricted certificate for forest, dated March 4, 2004, consistent with the 2004 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 152345 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N445DF was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Grumman S2F-1 (serial 152, cancelled date not given). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

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 N445DF. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
