The public federal record on N81V, 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 Jones Stephen W, an individual, certificate issued October 2, 2025, expires October 31, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Experimental certificate for amateur built, dated October 29, 2025, consistent with the 2025 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 24255586 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N81V was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Stits Playboy SA3A (serial P001, cancelled February 4, 2017); Sikorsky S-40A (serial 2001, cancelled April 8, 1948). 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 N81V. 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.
