The public federal record on N212L, 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 International Air Services INC Trustee, a corporation, certificate issued November 7, 2023, expires November 30, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated December 15, 1955, 7 years after the 1948 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 NAV-4-1159 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N212L according to the deregistered file. [2]
