The public federal record on N50KS, 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 Shuman Kenneth R, an individual, certificate issued December 23, 1998, expires January 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Experimental certificate for amateur built, dated December 17, 2001, consistent with the 2001 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 20535 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N50KS was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 340A (serial 340A0483, cancelled December 11, 1978). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

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]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N50KS. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms
