The public federal record on N76BP, 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 Stewart Michael, an individual, certificate issued January 30, 2007, expires May 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated March 8, 1988, 4 years after the 1984 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 1034 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N76BP according to the deregistered file. [2]
