The public federal record on N12JV, 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 Raun Ian O, an individual, certificate issued October 31, 2018, expires October 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated September 24, 1985, 6 years after the 1979 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 88 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N12JV was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Villeneuve OSPREY 1-V (serial 11, cancelled November 4, 1975). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [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]
1 NTSB record under N12JV: Accident on May 8, 2004 at Mayetta, KS: no injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
