The public federal record on N940Z, 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 Sheehan Donald C, an individual, certificate issued July 20, 2011, expires July 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated January 28, 2010, 5 years after the 2005 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 A0501010H for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N940Z was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Bright Trevis L RANS S-6 ES (serial B1, cancelled February 19, 1991). 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]
1 NTSB record under N940Z: Accident on August 25, 2009 at Bloomfield, IN: fatal, destroyed (2 fatal). Details below. [4]
