The public federal record on N797W, 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 Davenport Robert G, an individual, certificate issued February 25, 2019, expires February 28, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Experimental certificate for exhibition; racing, dated April 20, 2002, consistent with the 2001 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 056 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N797W was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Glasflugel H 301 LIBELLE (serial 32, cancelled December 7, 1971); Bellanca SPECIAL (serial 3003, cancelled March 19, 1935). 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 N797W. 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.
