The public federal record on N1021, 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 N1021 INC, a corporation, certificate issued April 28, 2014, expires April 30, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for normal, dated November 30, 1972, consistent with the 1972 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 12016 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N1021 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Porter Lewis B Jr RV6 (serial 20036, cancelled April 8, 2008); Smith DSA-1 (serial 1, cancelled November 10, 1970). 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 N1021. 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.
