The public federal record on N22932, 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 Runyon Aviation LLC, an LLC, certificate issued October 9, 2025, expires October 31, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated July 17, 1978, 32 years after the 1946 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 B-139 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N22932 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Cessna 150H (serial 15068625, cancelled June 16, 1969); Piper J3C-50 (serial 2826, cancelled November 15, 1940). 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]
3 NTSB records under N22932: Accident on April 5, 2004 at Unalaska, AK: no injuries, substantial damage. Accident on April 15, 1998 at Dutch Harbor, AK: no injuries, substantial damage. Incident on January 7, 1993 at Akutan, AK: no injuries, minor 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.

Factors associated with the accident are the second pilot's improper upgrade/transition training by the company check airman, the second pilot's lack of experience in the accident type airplane, the operator's lack of surveillance of the training process, and a crosswind.
