The public federal record on N8190Y, 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 Rapids Camp Lodge INC, a corporation, certificate issued June 27, 2025, expires June 30, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated August 27, 1999, 44 years after the 1955 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 824 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N8190Y was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Piper PA-32-301T (serial 32-8024019, cancelled May 7, 1980); Piper PA-28RT-201T (serial 28R8131053, cancelled date not given). 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]
2 NTSB records under N8190Y: Accident on April 15, 2005 at Talkeetna, AK: minor injuries, substantial damage. Accident on August 12, 1992 at Crescent Lake, AK: minor injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
