The public federal record on N6161Q, 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 Malousek Andrew J, an individual, certificate issued May 5, 2015, expires May 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated August 11, 2015, 37 years after the 1978 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 128420 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N6161Q was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Eilts David/Idler Robert TIERRA II (serial 1, cancelled January 15, 1997); Cessna 152 (serial 15285177, cancelled date not given). 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 N6161Q: Accident on August 26, 1994 at Prole, IA: minor injuries, destroyed. Details below. [4]

AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
