Records check free · 1 to understand · 4 clear

The public federal record on N553DT, 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

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N553DT was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Sikorsky UH-19D (serial 57-5947, cancelled March 10, 2011). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record
