The public federal record on N231A, 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.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to Weitz David, an individual, certificate issued November 23, 2021, expires November 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 3, 1994, 42 years after the 1952 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]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 227 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N231A was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Mooney Aircraft Corp. M20K (serial 250645, cancelled April 4, 1996). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
