The public federal record on N491BG, 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.
Valid registration to Shogren Coleman D, a co-owned, certificate issued April 29, 2023, expires April 30, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 27, 2008, 3 years after the 2005 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]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 001 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N491BG according to the deregistered file. [2]
1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (September 10, 2026). [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N491BG. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
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.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
