The public federal record on N8024M, 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 Cairns Donald A, an individual, certificate issued September 7, 2021, expires September 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Experimental certificate for registered before jan 31, 2008; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 1955 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N8024M was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 310I (serial 310I0024, cancelled October 26, 1993). 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 N8024M. 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.
