The public federal record on N5813, 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 Tri-State Warbird Museum, a corporation, certificate issued March 24, 2006, expires October 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated September 1, 2011, 68 years after the 1943 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 27501 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N5813 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Convair 340 (serial 130, cancelled October 17, 1984). 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 N5813: Accident on December 8, 2011 at Batavia, OH: minor injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
