The public federal record on N1556M, 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 C-Fleet LLC, an LLC, certificate issued January 28, 2022, expires January 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 23, 2001, 30 years after the 1971 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 18800656 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N1556M was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Consolidated Vultee PBY-5A (serial 48275, cancelled May 11, 1955). 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 N1556M: Accident on July 28, 1996 at Decatur, TX: 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.
