The public federal record on N8071, 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 Polsley John Steven, a co-owned, certificate issued December 3, 2019, expires December 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 28, 2004, 59 years after the 1945 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 4418071 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N8071 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Spartan C3-5 (serial 114, cancelled August 1, 1930). 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]
1 NTSB record under N8071: Accident on July 25, 1991 at Ashland, KY: no injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
