The public federal record on N966K, 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 Kerpa John R, an individual, certificate issued August 26, 2013, expires August 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated July 12, 2011, 63 years after the 1948 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 111966 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N966K was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Cessna 180 (serial 31298, cancelled July 25, 1990); Moth 60-GMW (serial 164, cancelled February 3, 1948). 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 N966K: Accident on January 1, 1985 at Marion, MT: no 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.
