The public federal record on N5015S, 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 Spirit Engineering INC, a corporation, certificate issued , expires date not given. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate

No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 040 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N5015S was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-28R-200 (serial 28R-35743, cancelled September 6, 2012). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (October 28, 2026). [3]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N5015S. 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
