The public federal record on N81Y, 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 Harter Michael R, an individual, certificate issued June 14, 2023, expires June 30, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 10, 1950, 17 years after the 1933 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 8729 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N81Y was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Beech AT-11 (serial 1402, cancelled March 30, 1960). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
