The public federal record on N143RF, 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.

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 10199 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N143RF was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Airbus Industrie A300 B4-2C (serial 239, cancelled June 1, 2006). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

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 N143RF. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
