Records check free · 1 to understand · 4 clear

The public federal record on N5278L, 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.

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Restricted certificate for agriculture and pest control, dated September 22, 1994, consistent with the 1994 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 1Z 017-26 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N5278L was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-28-180 (serial 284577, cancelled October 10, 1990). 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]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N5278L. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
