Dmr FIELD RANGER X50
N987LA is a Dmr FIELD RANGER X50, a rotorcraft powered by electric motors (a helicopter or multicopter). It is unmanned. It is registered to an owner whose details are withheld at their request. The FAA lists the registration as "n-number assigned as a non-type-certificated aircraft, not yet registered". No airworthiness certificate is on file, which is normal for drones and for aircraft still being built or tested.

The public federal record on N987LA, 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 "N-number assigned as a non-type-certificated aircraft, not yet registered". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [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 X50-24-01-004 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N987LA according to the deregistered file. [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 N987LA. 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.

This automated check reads the public federal record. Nothing here is a legal opinion, an appraisal or a statement about the aircraft's condition; a CLEAR line is a statement about the searched record, not the aircraft.
