The public federal record on N56DE, 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 70883 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N56DE was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Ward Joe SUPER II S GLASAIR (serial 2247, cancelled September 23, 2010); Bell 206L (serial 45061, cancelled date not given). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record
