The public federal record on N14144, 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 Cal-Aerofab Flight Academy INC, a corporation, certificate issued July 31, 2023, expires July 31, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

NOTEAirworthiness certificate

Experimental certificate for exhibition; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 51-7533 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N14144 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Howard Frank HOWARD-HEATH (serial 1, cancelled July 15, 1935). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

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]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N14144. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
