The public federal record on N1971E, 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 Holtaway Robert F, an individual, certificate issued July 11, 1997, expires October 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated February 21, 1956, 10 years after the 1946 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 7AC-5538 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N1971E according to the deregistered file. [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]
