The public federal record on N162V, 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.

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 21, 2018, 89 years after the 1929 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]

N162V was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Fleet FLEET 16B (serial 284, cancelled December 30, 2010). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
