The public federal record on N77227, 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 Department of Homeland Security, a government body, certificate issued September 30, 2026, expires September 30, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 77-22718 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N77227 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 140 (serial 11689, 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]
2 NTSB records under N77227: Accident on November 2, 2012 at Watsonville, CA: minor injuries, substantial damage. Accident on December 10, 1984 at Wasilla, AK: no injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
