The public federal record on N7260K, 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 Ambitious Aviation LLC, an LLC, certificate issued October 2, 2024, expires October 31, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated November 20, 2000, consistent with the 2000 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 18280895 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N7260K was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-18 105 (serial 18155, cancelled February 5, 1971). 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 N7260K. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
