The public federal record on N6946C, 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.
Registration status is "Registration pending, canceled". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 21, 1983, 30 years after the 1953 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 25522 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N6946C was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Beech AT-11 (serial 4237676, cancelled May 20, 1965). 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]
