The public federal record on N230H, 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 Heger Scott J, an individual, certificate issued September 15, 2020, expires September 30, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated January 12, 2021, 27 years after the 1994 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 23019 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N230H was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm BK 117 A-4 (serial 7136, cancelled May 5, 1999); Fleet 1 (serial 98, cancelled April 26, 1960). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [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]
