The public federal record on N820D, 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.

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 172S12565 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N820D was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Dodd Arthur E VANS ACFT RV-7A (serial 70485, cancelled March 3, 2011); Douglas DC-7B (serial 45089, cancelled March 10, 1965). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record
