The public federal record on N690, 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 John Deal LLC, an LLC, certificate issued December 2, 1999, expires March 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated September 23, 1996, 44 years after the 1952 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 282 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N690 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Curtiss JN4D (serial M-3280, cancelled May 2, 1930). 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]
