The public federal record on N4891Z, 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 Rustair INC, a corporation, certificate issued June 9, 2011, expires June 30, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 4, 1993, 13 years after the 1980 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 U20606044 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N4891Z was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-22-108 (serial 22-8473, cancelled February 1, 1971). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

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.
