The public federal record on N202CH, 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 Bavarian Barnstormers 2 INC, a non-citizen corporation, certificate issued February 23, 2023, expires February 28, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated September 23, 2020, 69 years after the 1951 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 301 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N202CH 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]
2 NTSB records under N202CH: Accident on April 20, 2016 at Myerstown, PA: no injuries, substantial damage. Accident on April 25, 1987 at Rolling Fork, MS: 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.
