The public federal record on N164K, 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

Valid registration to Memphis Police Department, a government body, certificate issued July 31, 1992, expires December 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 4000 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N164K was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Aero Commander 680FL (serial 1340-25, cancelled August 28, 1975); Mono Aircraft Co MONOCOACH 275 (serial 5028, cancelled May 1, 1932). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record
