The public federal record on N9747C, 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.

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N9747C was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Hiller UH-12E (serial 2121, cancelled November 26, 2014). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
