The public federal record on N3253P, 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 Bishop Steven R, an individual, certificate issued August 21, 2007, expires May 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated December 12, 2007, 8 years after the 1999 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 4655 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N3253P was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Beech A36 (serial E-2973, cancelled June 3, 2005); Piper PA-23-160 (serial 231198, cancelled date not given). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
