The public federal record on N1576F, 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 City of Houston Police Dept, a government body, certificate issued October 11, 2006, expires July 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 27, 2026, 20 years after the 2006 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 0802FF for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N1576F was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 185D (serial 185-0952, cancelled September 10, 1965). 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 N1576F: Accident on August 30, 2022 at Pearland, 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.
