The public federal record on N840C, 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 Kossowski Slawomir, an individual, certificate issued November 26, 2012, expires November 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for glider, dated March 22, 1999, consistent with the 1999 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 80 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N840C was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Bell 206L-3 (serial 51115, cancelled December 1, 1994). 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 N840C. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
