The public federal record on N3523V, 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.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to Baker Warren R, a co-owned, certificate issued July 17, 2000, expires October 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 25, 1956, 8 years after the 1948 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]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 14792 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

CLEARTail number reuse

No other airframe has carried N3523V according to the deregistered file. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (September 24, 2026). [3]

CLEARAccident and incident record
