The public federal record on N142PA, 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 Amazon.Com Services LLC, an LLC, certificate issued May 14, 2024, expires May 31, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
