The public federal record on N828SC, 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 Vanek Jim, an individual, certificate issued May 24, 2019, expires May 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Experimental certificate for amateur built, dated October 24, 2020, consistent with the 2020 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial M2001 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N828SC was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Cooke Steven RTWY INTL EXEC 162-F (serial 6249, cancelled April 24, 2013); Airbus Industrie A300 B4-203 (serial 078, cancelled March 1, 1999). 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 N828SC. 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.
