The public federal record on N15EM, 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 Branson Tristan, an individual, certificate issued September 27, 2023, expires September 30, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated December 13, 2017, 45 years after the 1972 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 207 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N15EM was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Cessna P337H (serial P3370317, cancelled October 17, 2008); Cessna 337D (serial 337-1137, cancelled May 8, 1980). 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 N15EM: Accident on June 15, 2008 at Cape Elizabeth, ME: fatal, destroyed (2 fatal). Details below. [4]
