The public federal record on N765, 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 Moby Partnership, a partnership, certificate issued December 20, 2017, expires December 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for normal, dated November 26, 1975, consistent with the 1975 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 61P-0271-057 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N765 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Misenhelder Larry CHINOOK PLUS 2 (serial 26, cancelled October 27, 1928). 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 N765. 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.
