The public federal record on N111W, 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 Hamilton Steven T, an individual, certificate issued June 23, 1993, expires October 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated December 12, 1955, 10 years after the 1945 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 1420 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N111W was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Grumman G-44 (serial 1361, cancelled May 8, 1968); Beech C18S (serial 8030, cancelled August 27, 1953). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
