The public federal record on N103RW, 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 Fletcher John, an individual, certificate issued February 16, 2026, expires February 28, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated October 31, 2007, 8 years after the 1999 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 1194-R0515 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
