The public federal record on N4440, 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.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to Wolles David A, an individual, certificate issued September 19, 2007, expires April 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 90846 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N4440 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Fairchild Airplane Mfg Corp FC-2 (serial 71, cancelled October 1, 1940); Cessna 310D (serial 39109, cancelled date not given). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record
