Records check free · 1 to understand · 4 clear

The public federal record on N6126M, 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 Bishop Aeronautics LLC, an LLC, certificate issued January 17, 2024, expires January 31, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 7161C for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N6126M was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Stinson 108-3 (serial 108-4126, cancelled January 18, 1951). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

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 N6126M. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
