The public federal record on N956AL, 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 Airbus Helicopters INC, a non-citizen corporation, certificate issued April 13, 2026, expires April 30, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
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]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 2344 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N956AL was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Eurocopter Deutschland Gmbh MBB-BK 117 C-2 (serial 9222, cancelled February 23, 2011); Stinson SR-8C (serial 9764, cancelled date not given). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (October 23, 2026). [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N956AL. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
