The public federal record on N231LS, 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.
Registration status is "Sale reported, pending cancellation". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated April 5, 2019, 26 years after the 1993 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 938020 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N231LS was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Mooney Aircraft Corp. M20K (serial 25-0136, cancelled April 15, 2013). 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]
2 NTSB records under N231LS: Accident on September 6, 2025 at Ridgeland, SC: serious injuries, substantial damage. Accident on April 11, 2003 at West Milford, NJ: serious injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
