The public federal record on N4929, 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 Rhinebeck Aerodrome Museum, a corporation, certificate issued October 17, 1994, expires September 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 8, 1979, 13 years after the 1966 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 HAC1 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N4929 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Spartan C-3 (serial 58, cancelled April 18, 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]
2 NTSB records under N4929: Accident on October 17, 2009 at Rhinebeck, NY: no injuries, substantial damage. Accident on June 4, 2003 at Rhinebeck, NY: minor injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
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.
