Records check free · 1 to understand · 4 clear

The public federal record on N47394, 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.

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 28-7890066 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N47394 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Fairchild M-62A (serial T43-5025, cancelled November 18, 1955). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
