The public federal record on N5416, 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 Nelson Flyers INC, a corporation, certificate issued August 8, 2022, expires August 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 1030 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N5416 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Advance Aircraft Co WACO 10 (serial 1502, cancelled December 1, 1931). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
