The public federal record on N220KC, 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 Avanti Air CO, a corporation, certificate issued August 19, 1999, expires June 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated August 26, 1998, 9 years after the 1989 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 3433137 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N220KC was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Swearingen SA226TC (serial TC231, cancelled June 30, 1994). 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 N220KC: Accident on August 17, 1993 at Hartford, CT: fatal, destroyed (2 fatal). 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.
