The public federal record on N2209P, 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 Ruppel Robert E JR, an individual, certificate issued December 17, 2012, expires December 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated July 22, 2003, 36 years after the 1967 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 27-3788 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N2209P was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Bell 206B (serial 3520, cancelled March 24, 1997); Piper PA-32RT-300T (serial 32-R-7987102, cancelled April 17, 1979). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
