The public federal record on N111PM, 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 Tri Rotor Spray and Chemical, a corporation, certificate issued June 19, 2012, expires June 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated July 12, 2012, 37 years after the 1975 manufacture year.

The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 1770 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N111PM according to the deregistered file. [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]

AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
NTSB records 2
Aircraft on the NTSB record: Bell 206B · operated under 137
An in-flight failure of the engine-to-transmission driveshaft due to a fatigue fracture of the forward-most flex plate in the forward KAflex coupling that resulted from a loose bolt attachment between the flex plate and the forward driveshaft coupling. Contributing to the accident was maintenance personnel’s failure to identify the condition and remove the KAflex driveshaft for repair as specified by the manufacturer.
