The public federal record on N76VR, 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 Arrow Aviation CO LLC, an LLC, certificate issued December 13, 2019, expires December 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated December 9, 2016, 27 years after the 1989 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 760360 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N76VR was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Mellema BEDE 4 (serial 582, cancelled January 6, 2010). 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]
