The public federal record on N800PS, 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 Sullivan Robert D, an individual, certificate issued June 13, 2017, expires June 30, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated January 21, 1956, 8 years after the 1948 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 NAV-4-1502 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N800PS according to the deregistered file. [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]

NTSB records 1
Aircraft on the NTSB record: Ryan NAVION A · operated under 091
A total power loss due to fuel starvation as a result of the pilot's inadequate preflight inspection of the airplane and its fuel system. Factors include: the pilot's failure to refuel the airplane, the improper fuel tank selector position that would not allow fuel transfer from the fuselage tank to the wing tanks, and the rough, uneven, and soft terrain on which the forced landing was made.
