The public federal record on N4247U, 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 Higgins Leasing INC, a corporation, certificate issued November 10, 2023, expires November 30, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated March 4, 2026, 10 years after the 2016 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 802-4001 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N4247U was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Maule MXT-7-180A (serial 21082C, cancelled April 29, 2002); Cessna 150D (serial 15060247, cancelled January 9, 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]
2 NTSB records under N4247U: Accident on October 21, 2010 at Fort Hunter Liggett, CA: no injuries, substantial damage. Accident on April 11, 1989 at Milwaukee, WI: serious injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [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.
