The public federal record on N234MS, 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 Vertical Horizon Aviation LLC, an LLC, certificate issued March 14, 2026, expires March 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated July 6, 1999, 24 years after the 1975 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 3400351 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N234MS according to the deregistered file. [2]
1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (October 6, 2026). [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N234MS. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [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.
