The public federal record on N171Q, 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 Endeavor West LLC, an LLC, certificate issued August 30, 2022, expires August 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 27, 1994, 38 years after the 1956 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 28197 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N171Q was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Lockheed 18-50 (serial 2381, cancelled December 9, 1964). 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]
