The public federal record on N701BA, 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 Bering Air INC, a corporation, certificate issued January 14, 2025, expires January 31, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated November 22, 2024, consistent with the 2024 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 408-0036 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N701BA was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Beech AT-11 (serial 3991, cancelled July 18, 2017). 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 N701BA. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
