The public federal record on N5061D, 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 Knight Frederick T, an individual, certificate issued January 12, 2026, expires January 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Multiple certificate for standard; restricted; agriculture and pest control, dated November 30, 1979, consistent with the 1979 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 338-80 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N5061D was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 182A (serial 51161, cancelled October 8, 1970). 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 N5061D. 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.
