The public federal record on N10842, 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 Cranor Douglas R, an individual, certificate issued May 4, 2010, expires April 30, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 13, 1997, 46 years after the 1951 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 18-671 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N10842 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Cessna 150L (serial 15075079, cancelled March 17, 1989); Stinson JR. S (serial 8035, cancelled August 1, 1938). 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]
