The public federal record on N3201U, 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 Southwest Aircraft LLC, an LLC, certificate issued October 7, 2020, expires October 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 8, 1992, 52 years after the 1940 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 64-2202 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N3201U was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Mooney M20J (serial 240570, cancelled November 21, 1989). 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]
2 NTSB records under N3201U: Accident on August 23, 1992 at Bakersfield, CA: no injuries, substantial damage. Accident on May 27, 1989 at Big Pine Key, FL: fatal, destroyed (2 fatal). Details below. [4]
