The public federal record on N7044U, 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 Van Hoesen Derek M, an individual, certificate issued December 18, 2017, expires December 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Experimental certificate for amateur built, dated September 7, 2007, consistent with the 2007 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 72702 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N7044U was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Mara Charles R CRM 1 (serial CRM1, cancelled February 1, 1995); Boeing 727-22 (serial 18851, cancelled September 4, 1985). 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 N7044U. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
