The public federal record on N4511K, 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 Maddox Jeffrey A, an individual, certificate issued January 24, 2023, expires January 31, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 6324 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N4511K was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Air Tractor Inc AT-502 (serial 5020093, cancelled July 1, 1996); Cessna P210N (serial P21000203, cancelled June 28, 1988). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N4511K. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms
