The public federal record on N4174L, 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 Cst & Sons LLC, an LLC, certificate issued December 23, 2016, expires December 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 14, 2021, 13 years after the 2008 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 12495 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N4174L was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 172G (serial 17254243, cancelled November 23, 1993). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
