The public federal record on N8082B, 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 May John D, an individual, certificate issued October 26, 2017, expires October 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated October 26, 2007, 7 years after the 2000 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 728 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N8082B was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Piper PA-28-161 (serial 288016058, cancelled August 15, 1989); Cessna 172 (serial 29882, cancelled June 13, 1957). 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 N8082B: Accident on November 28, 1985 at Duluth, MN: fatal, destroyed (3 fatal). Details below. [4]
