The public federal record on N98BS, 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 Lac Management, a corporation, certificate issued October 26, 1990, expires July 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 19, 1956, 9 years after the 1947 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 J-18 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N98BS was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 152 (serial 15284731, cancelled April 7, 1988). 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]
