Records check free · 2 to understand · 3 clear

The public federal record on N9231R, 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 Ilfeld Richard R, an individual, certificate issued March 21, 2019, expires March 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate

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]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 868 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N9231R was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Maule MXT-7-160 (serial 17001C, cancelled May 3, 1993). 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]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N9231R. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
