The public federal record on N9777, 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 Valiair Limited CO Trustee, an LLC, certificate issued April 9, 2021, expires April 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated February 11, 2014, 43 years after the 1971 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 471 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N9777 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Barkley-Evans B&E JEANIES TEENIE (serial 1, cancelled September 18, 2009); Fairchild 71 (serial 618, cancelled February 12, 1939). 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]
1 NTSB record under N9777: Accident on June 24, 2026 at Egelsbach, OF: no injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
