The public federal record on N9040V, 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 Glessner Leslie O, an individual, certificate issued December 29, 2015, expires December 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated October 19, 2007, 8 years after the 1999 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 D99912SOHK0348 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N9040V was previously assigned to 3 other aircraft: Aerospatiale AS 355F2 (serial 5384, cancelled January 21, 2005); Weatherly Aviation Co Inc 620B (serial 1652, cancelled August 17, 2000); Beech A60 (serial P-189, cancelled April 30, 1987).
