The public federal record on N452DF, 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.

ATTENTIONRegistration and identity

Registration status is "Registration pending, pending cancellation". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Experimental certificate for research and development, dated January 24, 2025, consistent with the 2024 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 705354 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N452DF was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Grumman S2F-1 (serial 204, 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 N452DF. 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

AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
