The public federal record on N820DM, 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 Airplane Factory INC, a non-citizen corporation, certificate issued January 16, 2024, expires January 31, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 376A for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N820DM according to the deregistered file. [2]
1 loan or lien document received by the registry recently (October 5, 2026). The full title and lien picture is in the FAA aircraft records file. [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N820DM. 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.
