The public federal record on N143AW, 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.
Registration status is "Sale reported". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated April 8, 2024, 4 years after the 2020 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 1030 AT 912 LSA for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N143AW was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 182K (serial 18258305, cancelled October 18, 2012). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
