The public federal record on N3680C, 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.
Registration status is "First notice for registration renewal". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated October 9, 1997, 43 years after the 1954 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 31179 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N3680C according to the deregistered file. [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]
3 NTSB records under N3680C: Accident on August 1, 1993 at Sparrevohn, AK: no injuries, substantial damage. Accident on February 6, 1993 at Elmendorf Afb, AK: no injuries, substantial damage. Accident on August 27, 1990 at Lime Village, AK: no injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
