The public federal record on N5015L, 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 Stark Gary, an individual, certificate issued April 17, 2026, expires April 30, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 5, 2015, 66 years after the 1949 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 557 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N5015L was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Lake LA-4-200 (serial 472, cancelled date not given). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
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]
1 NTSB record under N5015L: Accident on May 25, 1983 at Vinalhaven, ME: serious injuries, destroyed. Details below. [4]
