The public federal record on N14HR, 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 an owner whose details are withheld, a co-owned, certificate issued January 7, 2026, expires January 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated December 21, 1956, 9 years after the 1947 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 12-2853 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N14HR was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Hedderly Richard C S-12 AIRAILE (serial 1290052, cancelled March 5, 1998); Smith AEROSTAR 601P (serial 61P0479193, cancelled April 16, 1990). 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]
2 NTSB records under N14HR: Accident on October 1, 1988 at Columbus, OH: fatal, destroyed (1 fatal). Accident on June 26, 1987 at Doylestown, PA: no injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [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.
