The public federal record on N268MA, 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 Masters of the Air LLC, an LLC, certificate issued May 24, 2024, expires May 31, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated August 15, 2024, 49 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 28-7515338 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N268MA was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Helicopters & Airplanes Inc EXEC 162-F (serial 6383, cancelled February 28, 2017); Fokker F27 (serial 10284, cancelled September 10, 1997). 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 N268MA: Accident on June 4, 2002 at Tampa, FL: 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.
