Records check free · 2 to understand · 3 clear

The public federal record on N7878W, 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 an owner whose details are withheld, an LLC, certificate issued March 7, 2025, expires March 31, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated March 29, 2025, 47 years after the 1978 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 18052936 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N7878W was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-28-180 (serial 28-1902, cancelled July 9, 1970). 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 N7878W. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
