The public federal record on N8976R, 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 Steenrod Kenneth Allen, an individual, certificate issued December 30, 2020, expires December 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 27, 2022, 43 years after the 1979 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 GGV 001 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N8976R was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Champion 7HC (serial 7HC-28, cancelled August 30, 2012). 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 N8976R: Accident on June 16, 2011 at Kenai, AK: no injuries, substantial damage. Accident on August 16, 1987 at Seward, 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.
