The public federal record on N796, 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 US Department Of The Interior, a government body, certificate issued March 16, 2005, expires January 31, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated October 3, 2014, 10 years after the 2004 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 50 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N796 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Hughes 269C (serial 690804, cancelled February 12, 1997); Douglas M-4 (serial 655, cancelled April 6, 1929). 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]
