The public federal record on N487CM, 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 Cargo Aircraft Management INC, a corporation, certificate issued May 19, 2026, expires May 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 24, 2026, 22 years after the 2004 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 33768 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N487CM was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-23-250 (serial 27-3552, cancelled October 14, 2014). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

ATTENTIONRecent registry documents

1 loan or lien document received by the registry recently (October 1, 2026). The full title and lien picture is in the FAA aircraft records file. [3]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N487CM. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
