The public federal record on N53896, 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.

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 572-76 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N53896 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Fairchild M-62A (serial T42-3744, cancelled February 28, 1949). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record
