The public federal record on N13AS, 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 Scholem Paul F, an individual, certificate issued December 18, 2017, expires December 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 19, 1976, 22 years after the 1954 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 1110 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N13AS was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Pitts S-2A (serial 2120, cancelled July 14, 1988); Aerotek PITTS S-2A (serial 2002, cancelled June 30, 1975). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
