The public federal record on N71096, 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 Davison Associates INC, a corporation, certificate issued December 1, 2015, expires December 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for balloon, dated July 10, 1995, consistent with the 1995 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial S57A-3172 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N71096 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna U206F (serial U20602121, cancelled April 19, 1974). 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 N71096. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
