The public federal record on N117H, 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.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to Gobuyair LLC, an LLC, certificate issued January 2, 2004, expires June 30, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated August 27, 1979, consistent with the 1979 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 751SA for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N117H was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Fairchild 71 (serial 655, cancelled date not given). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

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]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N117H. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
