The public federal record on N21740, 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 Nanchang Coastal Partners INC, a corporation, certificate issued September 17, 2018, expires September 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated March 23, 2001, 10 years after the 1991 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 3932005 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N21740 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna A188B (serial 18800995T, cancelled July 10, 1996). 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 N21740: Accident on September 20, 1995 at Port of Spain: 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.
