The public federal record on N4078Z, 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 Knuth Denise, an individual, certificate issued March 30, 2006, expires November 30, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for balloon, dated March 6, 1997, consistent with the 1997 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial S53A-3029 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N4078Z was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Piper PA-31-350 (serial 318152071, cancelled April 19, 1994); Piper PA-18-150 (serial 18-8082, cancelled September 30, 1964). 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 N4078Z. 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.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
