Records check free · 2 to understand · 4 clear

The public federal record on N160EQ, 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 Polar Star CORP, a corporation, certificate issued March 8, 2026, expires March 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated October 19, 2019, 41 years after the 1978 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]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 78-23004 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

CLEARTail number reuse

No other airframe has carried N160EQ according to the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONRecent registry documents

1 loan or lien document received by the registry recently (September 29, 2026). The full title and lien picture is in the FAA aircraft records file. [3]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N160EQ. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms

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.

PENDINGAirworthiness directives and utilization
