The public federal record on N916G, 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 G Arnst Farms INC, a corporation, certificate issued April 24, 2026, expires April 30, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]

N916G was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Burkhart Grob Flugzeugbau G103 TWIN ASTIR (serial 3753, cancelled October 5, 2019). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

2 NTSB records under N916G: Accident on July 9, 2005 at Moriarty, NM: no injuries, substantial damage. Accident on May 7, 1985 at Williamson, GA: no injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
