The public federal record on N809US, 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 October 22, 2026, expires October 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for normal, dated April 12, 2005, consistent with the 2005 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 20608231 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N809US was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Mcdonnell Douglas DC-9-81(MD-81) (serial 48041, cancelled November 18, 2003). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (October 21, 2026). [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N809US. 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.
