The public federal record on N896JM, 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 Phillips James, an individual, certificate issued September 29, 2021, expires September 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Experimental certificate for amateur built, dated July 10, 2025, consistent with the 2025 manufacture year. [1]

N896JM was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Douglas DC-9-32 (serial 47560, cancelled October 29, 2007). 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 N896JM. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
