The public federal record on N3944A, 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 Department Of Homeland Security, a government body, certificate issued June 15, 2010, expires July 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated August 25, 2009, consistent with the 2009 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 4818 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N3944A was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Retka David L VOLKSPLANE VP2 (serial VZ1081DR, cancelled October 15, 1991); Aeronca 7BCM (serial 47-1207A, cancelled April 23, 1974). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record
