The public federal record on N6535K, 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 Jones Aviation INC, a corporation, certificate issued December 2, 2013, expires December 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 13, 1999, 22 years after the 1977 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 3C for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N6535K was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Republic RC-3 (serial 801, cancelled March 5, 1956). 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 N6535K: Accident on May 8, 2005 at Willows, CA: no injuries, substantial damage. 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.
