The public federal record on N5174, 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 Oconnell Christopher J SR, an individual, certificate issued August 27, 2024, expires August 31, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Experimental certificate for amateur built, dated March 6, 2015, consistent with the 2014 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial CH2-0199-1834 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N5174 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 180 (serial 30274, cancelled April 16, 1971). 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 N5174. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms
