The public federal record on N1847, 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 Ranson Andrew Wyatt, an individual, certificate issued August 16, 2016, expires August 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated August 19, 2007, 5 years after the 2002 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 503/728 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N1847 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Travel Air Mfg Co 2000 (serial 240, cancelled September 15, 1935). 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]
1 NTSB record under N1847: Accident on January 30, 2008 at Jefferson, GA: serious 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.

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Airborne Redback · operated under 091
The failure of the pilot-in-command to maintain control of the airplane and his poor weather evaluation before attempting to taxi the airplane. A factor in the accident was the failure of airport personnel to correct the inaccurate wind information reported by the AWOS.
