The public federal record on N20WL, 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 Sch Aviation INC Trustee, a corporation, certificate issued June 10, 2022, expires June 30, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 28, 1984, 8 years after the 1976 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 31T-7720011 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N20WL 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 N20WL. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
