The public federal record on N255Y, 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 Weeks Kermit A, an individual, certificate issued October 29, 2008, expires January 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated March 21, 1980, 8 years after the 1972 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 T-2 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N255Y was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Yardley James P SMITH DSA-1 (serial JPY-1, cancelled May 25, 1972); Lawrence W Brown Aircraft Co B-2 (serial 4, cancelled September 3, 1939). 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]
