The public federal record on N959X, 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.
Registration status is "Registration pending, pending cancellation". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated November 15, 2021, 48 years after the 1973 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 395198 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N959X was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Grumman G-164A (serial 473, cancelled July 1, 2013). 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]
No NTSB investigation records located under N959X. 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.
