The public federal record on N438Y, 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 Hogge Dennis, an individual, certificate issued July 19, 2016, expires July 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated February 5, 2010, 10 years after the 2000 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 LIV-298 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N438Y was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Great Lakes 2T-1A (serial 155, cancelled October 3, 1930). 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]
