The public federal record on N4356G, 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 Top Hand INC, a corporation, certificate issued May 15, 2012, expires May 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated November 25, 1998, 47 years after the 1951 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 CA56 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N4356G was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Piper PA-34-220T (serial 348433055, cancelled April 18, 1991); Mcculloch Aircraft Corp. J-2 (serial 066, cancelled June 16, 1972). 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 N4356G. 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.
