The public federal record on N71, 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 Federal Aviation Administration, a government body, certificate issued September 1, 1988, expires April 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated December 30, 1994, 6 years after the 1988 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 FF-6 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N71 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Douglas DC3C-S1C3G (serial 9005, cancelled May 4, 1964); Lincoln Standard Airplane Co LINCOLN STANDARD (serial 0001, cancelled April 29, 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]
