The public federal record on N117TX, 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.

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 75-10841 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N117TX was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Messerschmitt BK 117 B-1 (serial 7177, cancelled October 28, 2013). 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 N117TX. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
