The public federal record on N142BN, 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 Jensen Harold G, a co-owned, certificate issued October 11, 1989, expires July 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated September 20, 1956, 16 years after the 1940 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 4764 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N142BN according to the deregistered file. [2]
1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (October 1, 2026). [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N142BN. 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.
