The public federal record on N94290, 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 Houghton Roger L, an individual, certificate issued June 22, 2024, expires June 30, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated January 4, 2010, 4 years after the 2006 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 001 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N94290 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Cessna 152 (serial 15285641, cancelled August 13, 2003); Roberts AQUA GLIDER (serial 1000, cancelled January 6, 1971). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
