Records check free · 1 to understand · 4 clear

The public federal record on N5520D, 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.

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N5520D was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Beech H35 (serial D5042, cancelled January 5, 1972). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
