The public federal record on N707EE, 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 Engler Eric M DBA, an individual, certificate issued April 18, 2017, expires April 30, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated July 9, 2017, 45 years after the 1972 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 72-21159 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N707EE was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 172M (serial 17261377, cancelled July 11, 1977). 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]
