The public federal record on N16TN, 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 Mcknight Thomas N, an individual, certificate issued February 14, 2024, expires February 28, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated April 11, 2024, 10 years after the 2014 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 21912 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N16TN was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Mooney Airplane Co Inc M20TN (serial 31-0028, cancelled April 5, 2018); Newell Thomas J RV6A (serial 22305, cancelled September 29, 2005). 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]
2 NTSB records under N16TN: Accident on April 12, 2005 at Hayward, CA: minor injuries, substantial damage. Accident on July 16, 2004 at San Jose, CA: 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.
