The public federal record on N7160V, 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 Classic Medical INC, a corporation, certificate issued November 27, 2012, expires November 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 28, 2007, 11 years after the 1996 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 53013 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N7160V was previously assigned to 3 other aircraft: Robinson Helicopter R44 (serial 1435, cancelled March 23, 2005); Ring Roger AVID FLYER (serial 21, cancelled February 21, 2002); Mooney M20F (serial 220069, cancelled March 5, 1975).
