The public federal record on N80RD, 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.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to Robert Wiplinger LLC, an LLC, certificate issued November 23, 1999, expires November 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated July 27, 2012, 26 years after the 1986 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]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 20800085 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N80RD was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Grumman G-159 (serial 198, cancelled October 24, 1991). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
