The public federal record on N9276C, 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.

ATTENTIONRegistration and identity

Registration status is "Registration pending". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal; utility, dated February 23, 1978, consistent with the 1978 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 28-7816454 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N9276C was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 180 (serial 31375, cancelled March 4, 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 N9276C. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
