The public federal record on N88688, 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.

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated November 7, 2019, 58 years after the 1961 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 61-2962 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N88688 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper J3C-65 (serial 16316, cancelled June 30, 1949). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
