The airworthiness certificate on file is dated August 29, 2012, 6 years after the 2006 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]

N7735A was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 180 (serial 32632, cancelled October 17, 1956). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
