The public federal record on N601Q, 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 Quitter Frank A, an individual, certificate issued March 20, 2020, expires March 31, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Experimental certificate for amateur built; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 003FQ for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
