The public federal record on N844A, 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 Austin Bill DBA, an individual, certificate issued December 21, 2025, expires December 31, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 13, 2007, 51 years after the 1956 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 326-8 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N844A was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-22 (serial 22-143, cancelled June 25, 1973). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (October 22, 2026). [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N844A. 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.
