The public federal record on N55CW, 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 Aircraft Guaranty CORP Trustee, a corporation, certificate issued August 12, 2011, expires August 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated August 19, 2011, 69 years after the 1942 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 10673 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N55CW was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Bellanca 7ECA (serial 1294-79, cancelled April 8, 2009); Bell 206B (serial 3376, cancelled March 19, 1993). 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]
1 NTSB record under N55CW: Accident on January 27, 2006 at Pontiac, MI: fatal, destroyed (2 fatal). 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.
NTSB records 1
Aircraft on the NTSB record: Bellanca 7ECA · operated under 091
The excessive bank angle executed by the flight crew and their failure to maintain airspeed during the turn, which led to the inadvertent stall and subsequent impact with the ground. A factor was the low altitude.
