The public federal record on N136HA, 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 Enstrom Helicopter CORP, a corporation, certificate issued July 14, 2023, expires July 31, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated August 6, 2026, 11 years after the 2015 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]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 2143 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N136HA was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Hiller UH-12E (serial HA3036, cancelled January 10, 2018). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
