Records check free · 1 to understand · 4 clear

The public federal record on N83231, 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 Padilla Rafael R, a co-owned, certificate issued October 26, 2005, expires July 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated January 31, 1981, consistent with the 1980 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 28-8111047 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N83231 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Aeronca 7AC (serial 7AC-1891, cancelled May 20, 1965). 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]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N83231. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
