The public federal record on N135BU, 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 Metro Aviation INC, a corporation, certificate issued February 7, 2003, expires August 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated March 11, 2003, 6 years after the 1997 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 0015 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N135BU according to the deregistered file. [2]
1 loan or lien document received by the registry recently (September 25, 2026). The full title and lien picture is in the FAA aircraft records file. [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N135BU. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [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.
