The public federal record on N94FD, 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.

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N94FD was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Bae/Snias CONCORDE TYPE 1 (serial 11, cancelled March 22, 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 N94FD. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms
