The public federal record on N50845, 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.

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated October 7, 1996, 53 years after the 1943 manufacture year.

The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N50845 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 150J (serial 15069591, cancelled July 29, 1989). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
