The public federal record on N734, 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 United States Department Of Agriculture, a government body, certificate issued January 23, 1997, expires April 30, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated September 25, 1998, 42 years after the 1956 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 18-5258 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N734 was previously assigned to 3 other aircraft: Aeronca 7AC (serial 7AC-1558, cancelled February 8, 1971); Noorduyn UC-64A (serial 668, cancelled April 5, 1948); Standard J-1 (serial 1776, cancelled date not given).
