The public federal record on N9516W, 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 Ringco Aviation LLC, an LLC, certificate issued May 17, 2023, expires May 31, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

NOTEAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 18280226 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N9516W was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-28-140 (serial 28-22941, cancelled April 22, 1968). 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 N9516W. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
