The public federal record on N4334Y, 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 Sandaris INC Trustee, a corporation, certificate issued September 25, 2025, expires September 30, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated November 7, 2001, 42 years after the 1959 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 1401 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N4334Y was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-25-235 (serial 254825, cancelled March 8, 1989). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

1 NTSB record under N4334Y: Accident on August 21, 2021 at Kodiak, AK: no injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
