The public federal record on N4047R, 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 Carr Michael A, an individual, certificate issued December 22, 2017, expires December 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Experimental certificate for amateur built; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 0012209 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N4047R was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-32-300 (serial 32-40346, cancelled November 2, 1982). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [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]
No NTSB investigation records located under N4047R. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.
