The public federal record on N5056M, 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 York Ersell Shane, a co-owned, certificate issued February 19, 2026, expires February 28, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 10355 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N5056M was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Skyhawk Helicopter Corp AIR JET (serial 87-6, cancelled July 15, 2013); Piper PA-28-140 (serial 28-20763, cancelled March 24, 1986). 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]
No NTSB investigation records located under N5056M. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
