The public federal record on N1296, 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 James Marvin L, an individual, certificate issued February 22, 2024, expires February 28, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 13, 1989, 20 years after the 1969 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 2 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N1296 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Cessna 210 (serial 616, cancelled November 30, 1961); Yackey Aircraft Co YACKEY MONOPLANE (serial YCM-2, cancelled October 11, 1927). 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]
