Records check free · 1 to understand · 4 clear

The public federal record on N85988, 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 Wilson Miles, a co-owned, certificate issued August 30, 2016, expires August 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated April 10, 1973, consistent with the 1973 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 18261907 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N85988 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Aeronca 11AC (serial 11AC-407, cancelled November 5, 1952). 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 N85988. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms

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.
