The public federal record on N14055, 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 Top Hand INC, a corporation, certificate issued February 11, 1997, expires October 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated August 16, 1955, 3 years after the 1952 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 20937 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N14055 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Piper PA-23-250 (6PCLM) (serial 27-4666, cancelled July 16, 1971); Waco YKC (serial 3972, cancelled December 15, 1940). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
