The public federal record on N5287, 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 Fight'S On! LLC, an LLC, certificate issued October 18, 2016, expires October 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated December 17, 2003, 16 years after the 1987 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 877509 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N5287 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Grumman G-164A (serial 573, cancelled June 19, 1985); Travel Air Mfg Co 2000 (serial 487, cancelled September 24, 1930). 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]
1 NTSB record under N5287: Accident on September 22, 2024 at Lancaster, CA: fatal, substantial damage (1 fatal). Details below. [4]
