The public federal record on N73KD, 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 an owner whose details are withheld, a co-owned, certificate issued August 18, 2008, expires March 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Experimental certificate for amateur built, dated November 24, 2009, consistent with the 2009 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial LES-169 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N73KD was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Kelly/Rogers KELLY-D II (serial 1, cancelled May 3, 1990). 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]
No NTSB investigation records located under N73KD. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [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.
