The public federal record on N52972, 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 an owner whose details are withheld, an individual, certificate issued October 1, 2014, expires October 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for balloon, dated October 18, 2001, consistent with the 2001 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial RXS8-3108 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N52972 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Bell 412 (serial 36079, cancelled June 16, 1994); Consolidated Vultee BT-13A (serial 3523, cancelled July 13, 1951). 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 N52972. 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.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
