Built of
steel tube, wood and fabric
A welded steel-tube fuselage and wooden wings, all covered in fabric: the construction of the 1930s and 1940s, which makes wood rot and fabric age the inspection items. The Viking's wings are wood, which is why its inspections matter. This is how the Bellanca 17 Viking family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.

The public federal record on N63026, 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.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to Hacker JR Delbert M, an individual, certificate issued March 4, 2026, expires March 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated January 6, 1984, consistent with the 1984 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 84-30989 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N63026 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Cessna 172P (serial 17275385, cancelled February 4, 1983); Boeing A75N1 (serial 752162, cancelled June 9, 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]

CLEARAccident and incident record
