The public federal record on N135E, 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 Sport Flying USA INC, a corporation, certificate issued November 8, 2017, expires November 30, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated September 13, 2004, 29 years after the 1975 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 17266591 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N135E was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Piper PA-28R-201T (serial 28R7703093, cancelled June 1, 1989); Fokker F-10-A(FXA) (serial 1008, cancelled April 4, 1930). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
