The public federal record on N61694, 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 Scholz Mark W, a co-owned, certificate issued March 9, 2025, expires March 31, 2032. 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 770 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N61694 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Cessna A185F (serial 18504242, cancelled August 27, 1981); Consolidated Vultee BT-13 (serial 7347, cancelled June 22, 1970). 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]
No NTSB investigation records located under N61694. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [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.
