The public federal record on N2055V, 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.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to Brown Helicopter INC, a corporation, certificate issued December 11, 2014, expires December 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated October 4, 2010, 44 years after the 1966 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]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 66-1023 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N2055V was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 140 (serial 14268, cancelled March 10, 1971). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
