The public federal record on N81PC, 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 Nimbus Aviation LLC, an LLC, certificate issued February 20, 2014, expires February 28, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated August 24, 2006, 49 years after the 1957 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 18 6013 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N81PC was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Cessna T210N (serial 21063620, cancelled April 9, 2010); Cessna T210K (serial 21059381, cancelled February 6, 2004). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
