The public federal record on N90449, 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 Scutt Jared S, an individual, certificate issued January 16, 2020, expires January 31, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for balloon, dated August 25, 1992, consistent with the 1992 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial S49A-3141 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N90449 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Mcdonnell Douglas DC-4B (serial 27239, cancelled March 21, 1957). 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 N90449. 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.
