The public federal record on N1390A, 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 Veruca Salt LLC, an LLC, certificate issued March 12, 2014, expires March 31, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated July 10, 2012, 20 years after the 1992 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 295501 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N1390A was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Mcdaniel T E MSB 1 (serial 711, cancelled August 15, 2006); Piper PA-18 (serial 18-1222, cancelled June 26, 1970). 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]
2 NTSB records under N1390A: Accident on April 19, 2023 at Bridgeport, TX: serious injuries, substantial damage. Accident on February 16, 1983 at Las Cruces, NM: no injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
NTSB records 2
Aircraft on the NTSB record: Aero Vodochody L-139 · operated under 091
The pilot’s failure to maintain a stabilized approach path while checking for possible bird strike damage that resulted in a delayed go-around attempt and a collision with terrain. Contributing to the accident was the flight instructor’s distraction while looking for possible bird strike damage during the approach and his delayed remedial action.
