Records check free · 1 to understand · 4 clear

The public federal record on N7260A, 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

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N7260A was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 172 (serial 29360, cancelled April 29, 1995). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N7260A. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
