The public federal record on N40030, 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 Cantrell James E Trustee, an individual, certificate issued April 11, 2017, expires April 30, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated August 15, 2008, 10 years after the 1998 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 21052C for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N40030 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Robinson Helicopter R22 BETA (serial 1438, cancelled September 7, 1995); Piaggio P.136-L1 (serial 221, cancelled January 4, 1989). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
