The public federal record on N7497, 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 White Sands Soaring Association, a corporation, certificate issued January 18, 2001, expires July 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated January 26, 2001, 24 years after the 1977 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 2004 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N7497 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Grumman Acft Eng Cor-Schweizer G-164A (serial 976, cancelled November 17, 1983); Curtiss Robin 3PCLM (serial 8, cancelled September 7, 1934). 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 N7497: Accident on May 13, 1983 at Stuttgart, AR: no 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.
