The public federal record on N6179, 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 C C Air Corporation, a corporation, certificate issued January 27, 1993, expires April 30, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Experimental certificate for exhibition, dated March 12, 1993, consistent with the 1993 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 008 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N6179 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Beech 3T (serial 43-35549, cancelled October 26, 1971); Swallow SWALLOW (serial 993, cancelled June 23, 1932). 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 N6179. 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.
