The public federal record on N505C, 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 Sparrowhawk Aviation, a corporation, certificate issued July 7, 2022, expires July 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated July 13, 2017, 67 years after the 1950 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 1429 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N505C was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Douglas SUPER R4D-8 (serial 43335, cancelled February 2, 2009); Stinson 108-3 (serial 108-3505, cancelled October 4, 1955). 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]
No NTSB investigation records located under N505C. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [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.
