The public federal record on N139C, 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.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to Bruegmann Malte D, an individual, certificate issued July 31, 2020, expires July 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 26, 2020, 36 years after the 1984 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]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 433134 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N139C was previously assigned to 3 other aircraft: Bell 206B (serial 3485, cancelled August 30, 2012); Bensen GYROCOPTER (serial 1958-1, cancelled May 18, 1965); Stinson 108-2 (serial 1083139, cancelled February 27, 1956). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
