The public federal record on N9138Y, 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 Ledger Holly S, an individual, certificate issued February 3, 2024, expires February 28, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for balloon, dated August 28, 1998, consistent with the 1998 manufacture year. [1]

N9138Y was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-31 (serial 31-185, cancelled April 3, 1968). 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 N9138Y. 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.
