Listed on the FAA charter and air-taxi certificate of Heli-1 Corporation, 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 N212HP, 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.

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated March 21, 2001, 22 years after the 1979 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]
