The public federal record on N7248F, 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 Calhoun County Sheriffs Office, a government body, certificate issued March 2, 2018, expires March 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 72-21418 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N7248F was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-28-140 (serial 28-25165, cancelled March 6, 1970). 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
