The public federal record on N61534, 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.

ATTENTIONRegistration and identity

Registration status is "Registration pending". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal; utility, dated January 10, 1975, consistent with the 1974 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 17264621 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N61534 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Consolidated Vultee BT-13A (serial 5713, cancelled February 15, 1956). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (September 2, 2026). [3]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N61534. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
