The public federal record on N26SH, 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 Indiana Helicopters LLC, an LLC, certificate issued October 11, 2022, expires October 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated January 18, 2023, 7 years after the 2016 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 22360 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N26SH was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Bell Helicopter Textron 206L-1 (serial 45346, cancelled May 8, 2006); Bell 206L (serial 45346, cancelled November 12, 1980). 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 N26SH: Accident on April 15, 1997 at Wautoma, WI: no 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.
