The public federal record on N681BC, 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

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated October 20, 2011, 24 years after the 1987 manufacture year.

The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N681BC was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Hughes TH-55 (serial 67-16701, cancelled September 18, 2007). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
