The public federal record on N4224H, 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 Wharton William R JR, an individual, certificate issued January 6, 2022, expires January 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated February 14, 2008, 30 years after the 1978 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 152-80324 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N4224H was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Mooney M20J (serial 240669, cancelled October 7, 1996); Piper PA-14 (serial 14-27, cancelled May 20, 1965). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
