The public federal record on N725M, 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.
Valid registration to Aviation Advantage INC, a non-citizen corporation, certificate issued May 12, 2026, expires May 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated March 23, 2006, 26 years after the 1980 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 500726D for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N725M was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Beech D55 (serial TE-674, cancelled October 16, 1985); Ryan Aircraft B-5 (serial 225, cancelled April 4, 1933). 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]
2 NTSB records under N725M: Accident on May 15, 2013 at Camdenton, MO: no injuries, substantial damage. Accident on May 12, 1983 at Gardner, KS: serious injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
