There's a N number that I would like to reserve but it's currently on an airplane whose registration has lapsed and this is how the FAA site shows the status:
So the FAA site shows on one hand that this N number was reserved last year but a few lines later says it was cancelled and not assigned.
Before I try my luck with OKC (are they even open right now?) does anyone here know how this works??
Since your registration expires every three years now, I'm assuming there is some sort of grace period to allow you to re-register your aircraft. But at some point wouldn't that N number go back into the available pool?? Or is the purge date listed above when that number becomes available again??
