The public federal record on N556AF, 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 Appleby Management LLC, a co-owned, certificate issued July 10, 2025, expires July 31, 2032. Fractional ownership is recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for commuter, dated March 7, 2025, consistent with the 2025 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 556 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N556AF was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Gulfstream Aerospace G-1159A (serial 479, cancelled August 25, 2015). 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 N556AF. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
