The public federal record on N47E, 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 Dynamic Avlease INC, a corporation, certificate issued July 23, 2010, expires October 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 5, 1989, 46 years after the 1943 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 13816 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N47E was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Beech E18S (serial BA183, cancelled April 23, 1993); Curtiss Wright ROBIN (serial 81, cancelled August 23, 1929). 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]
