The public federal record on N3547F, 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 Eastern Kentucky University, a government body, certificate issued August 27, 2020, expires August 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

NOTEAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 172S8887 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N3547F was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Gates Learjet Corp. 35A (serial 089, cancelled December 28, 1976); Cessna/Wren 460 (serial 18257547, cancelled April 26, 1967). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

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]

CLEARAccident and incident record
