The public federal record on N4022, 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 Qualitair LLC Trustee, an LLC, certificate issued October 15, 2024, expires October 31, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 19, 1994, 39 years after the 1955 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 22 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N4022 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Goins Stitts PLAY MATE SALLA (serial 1929, cancelled January 14, 1972); Standard J-1 (serial N/A, cancelled March 30, 1929). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Avions Max Holste MH 1521 BROUSSARD · operated under 091

The pilot's failure to maintain proper runway alignment during a rejected takeoff. A factor in the accident was the undetermined pitch control/trim system problem, which led to the pilot's rejected takeoff decision and may have distracted him during attempts to maintain aircraft control.
