The public federal record on N231TR, 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 Career Aviation CO INC, a corporation, certificate issued February 8, 2023, expires February 28, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for transport, dated June 15, 2001, consistent with the 2001 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 230 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N231TR was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Ritchey Tom SKY ARROW 1450L (serial K131, cancelled August 28, 2013). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

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]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N231TR. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
