The public federal record on N821DF, 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.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to Dodson International Parts INC, a corporation, certificate issued August 19, 2024, expires August 31, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for transport, dated August 22, 1994, consistent with the 1994 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 042 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N821DF was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Beech A36 (serial E2533, cancelled February 14, 1991). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

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]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N821DF. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
