The public federal record on N89PT, 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 Holloway Franklin JR, an individual, certificate issued May 5, 2023, expires May 31, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Experimental certificate for exhibition, dated May 12, 2023, consistent with the 2022 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 184 T ET for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N89PT was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Talbott Philip SPACEWALKER (serial SW 6038-B, cancelled September 19, 2013). 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 N89PT. 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.
