The public federal record on N53KT, 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 Velvick Thomas L, a co-owned, certificate issued August 26, 2013, expires August 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Experimental certificate for amateur built, dated June 7, 2017, consistent with the 2017 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 001 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N53KT was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Walentine Roger RV4 (serial 1239A, cancelled November 30, 2011). 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 N53KT. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms

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.

PENDINGAirworthiness directives and utilization
