The public federal record on N23ME, 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 Prokes William J, an individual, certificate issued September 13, 2016, expires September 30, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Experimental certificate for amateur built, dated December 14, 2016, consistent with the 2016 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial PAF3 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N23ME was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Gregory Donovan M TAYLOR MONOPLANE (serial TM24ME, cancelled January 27, 1999). 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 N23ME. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms

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.
