Records check free · 1 to understand · 4 clear

The public federal record on N15729, 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

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated October 18, 2011, 75 years after the 1936 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 741 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

CLEARTail number reuse

NOTERecent registry documents

1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (September 1, 2026). [3]
