Learjet Inc 45
N189PP is a Learjet Inc 45, a fixed-wing airplane with more than one motor with turbofan engines. It has 12 seats. It is registered to Butler LLC, an LLC in Richmond, Virginia. The registration is valid: it was issued on July 7, 2015 and expires on July 31, 2028. No airworthiness certificate is on file, which is normal for drones and for aircraft still being built or tested.
Listed on the FAA charter and air-taxi certificate of Trident Aircraft, INC, so it can be flown for hire; the registered owner is someone else, which is usual for a managed aircraft.

The public federal record on N189PP, 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 Butler LLC, an LLC, certificate issued July 7, 2015, expires July 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 264 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N189PP according to the deregistered file. [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]
No NTSB investigation records located under N189PP. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [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.
