The public federal record on N3072Z, 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 Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum, a corporation, certificate issued May 4, 2010, expires April 30, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated January 21, 2005, 62 years after the 1943 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 L-5615 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N3072Z was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Piper PA-28RT-201T (serial 28R-7931178, cancelled April 9, 1983); Piper PA-22-160 (serial 22-7029, cancelled September 14, 1971). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
