The public federal record on N1206S, 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 Gustin Aviation INC, a corporation, certificate issued October 6, 2015, expires October 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated October 8, 1996, 18 years after the 1978 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 2470R for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N1206S was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Swearingen Aviation Corp. SA26-T (serial T2623, cancelled October 20, 1993). 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]
1 NTSB record under N1206S: Accident on November 2, 2011 at Kahlotus, WA: serious injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
