The public federal record on N741, 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 Damico Samuel P, an individual, certificate issued January 7, 2010, expires July 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated April 17, 1957, 11 years after the 1946 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 B-97 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N741 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Curtiss Wright JN4C (serial 71128, cancelled March 20, 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]
2 NTSB records under N741: Accident on April 10, 2008 at Unalaska, AK: serious injuries, substantial damage. Accident on March 21, 1994 at Mt. Fairweather: 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.
