The public federal record on N64702, 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 Hendrickson Flying Service INC, a corporation, certificate issued September 9, 2003, expires April 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 27, 2006, 44 years after the 1962 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 2706 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N64702 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Taylorcraft DCO-65 (serial L-5912, cancelled October 25, 1955). 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 N64702: Accident on April 21, 2016 at Los Fresnos, TX: serious injuries, destroyed. Details below. [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.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
