The public federal record on N94459, 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 Weeks Kermit, an individual, certificate issued October 7, 1994, expires January 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated September 4, 1986, 42 years after the 1944 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 44-44272 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N94459 according to the deregistered file. [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]
No NTSB investigation records located under N94459. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
