The public federal record on N92256, 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.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to Girard Louis W, an individual, certificate issued May 1, 2015, expires May 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Experimental certificate for registered before jan 31, 2008, dated September 30, 2007, consistent with the 2007 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 3374 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N92256 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper J3C-65 (serial 16712, cancelled October 13, 1955). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

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]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N92256. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms
