The public federal record on N72309, 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 Orion Works LTD, a corporation, certificate issued December 22, 2010, expires December 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial U206-1362 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N72309 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 120 (serial 9486, cancelled May 22, 1965). 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 N72309. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
