The public federal record on N747EF, 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.

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated August 5, 2025, 10 years after the 2015 manufacture year.

The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]

N747EF was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: American Legend Aircraft Co AL3 (serial AL-1089, cancelled May 14, 2015). 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]
