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]

N1138E was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Aeronca 7AC (serial 7AC-4694, cancelled October 5, 1955). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
