The public federal record on N23455, 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 "N-number assigned as an import, not yet registered". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]
No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 65783 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N23455 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Cessna 150H (serial 15068959, cancelled February 27, 1992); Piper J4A-S (serial 4-617, cancelled May 26, 1943). 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]
1 NTSB record under N23455: Accident on January 26, 1992 at Ft Mojave, AZ: minor injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
