The public federal record on N7081H, 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 "Sale reported". 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 January 14, 2012, 41 years after the 1971 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 32-7100028 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N7081H was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper J3C-65 (serial 20334, cancelled August 19, 1976). 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 N7081H: Accident on March 25, 2026 at Block Island, RI: minor 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.
