The public federal record on N88059, 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 Tidewater Soaring Society, a corporation, certificate issued October 13, 2021, expires October 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Restricted certificate for agriculture and pest control; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 72-74 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N88059 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper J3C-65 (serial 15675, cancelled June 16, 1949). 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 N88059. 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.
