The public federal record on N178C, 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.

Standard certificate for normal, dated April 11, 2024, consistent with the 2024 manufacture year. [1]
