The public federal record on N8400K, 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 Vincent Flying Service INC, a corporation, certificate issued February 23, 2017, expires February 28, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated July 10, 1991, 9 years after the 1982 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 685B for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N8400K was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Universal Stinson 108-1 (serial 1081400, cancelled May 21, 1968). 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 N8400K: Accident on May 4, 2016 at Iowa, LA: no injuries, substantial damage. Accident on July 3, 1985 at Thief River Fl, MN: no injuries, destroyed. 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.
