The public federal record on N1045C, 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 Reynolds Darryl G, an individual, certificate issued June 16, 2021, expires June 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated August 16, 2010, 38 years after the 1972 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 71-20527 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N1045C was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Leonard Anthony C BUCCANEER II (serial B2B-K172, cancelled July 14, 1999); Cessna 208B (serial 208B0342, cancelled June 11, 1993). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
