The public federal record on N8276Y, 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 Vrem Kevin, an individual, certificate issued June 16, 2021, expires June 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 23, 2021, 44 years after the 1977 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 18052778 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N8276Y was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Piper PA-28-181 (serial 288190060, cancelled August 23, 1997); Piper PA-30 (serial 30-1407, cancelled April 14, 1967). 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]
1 NTSB record under N8276Y: Accident on April 16, 1996 at Granville, OH: fatal, destroyed (1 fatal). Details below. [4]

AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Piper PA-28-181 · operated under 091
the pilot's intentional flight into known icing conditions and his overconfidence in his ability, which led to a partial loss of engine power as a result of induction system ice. Also causal was ATC's excessive vectoring of the airplane in icing conditions, further deteriorating the airplane's performance, and thereby placing the airplane beyond gliding distance to a nearby airport. In addition, the pilot failed to maintain airspeed during the forced landing, which resulted in a stall. The icing conditions were a factor.
