Records check free · 1 to understand · 3 clear

The public federal record on N44FW, 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 Weeks Kermit A, an individual, certificate issued September 29, 1997, expires April 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

NOTEAirworthiness certificate

Experimental certificate for exhibition; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 138 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N44FW was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Mackey SONERAI-II (serial 00071, cancelled June 16, 1993). 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 N44FW. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms

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.

PENDINGAirworthiness directives and utilization
