Records check free · 1 to understand · 4 clear

The public federal record on N9978H, 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 Medvid John M, a partnership, certificate issued September 20, 2024, expires September 30, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 18268158 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N9978H was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna T-50 (serial 4520, cancelled October 24, 1956). 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 N9978H. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
