The public federal record on N300SQ, 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 Vortex Aviation LLC, an LLC, certificate issued March 13, 2026, expires March 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for normal, dated October 27, 1979, consistent with the 1979 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 414A0416 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N300SQ was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Beech A36 (serial E1624, cancelled September 13, 1989); Hughes 269C (serial 1290004, cancelled May 23, 1974). 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]
No NTSB investigation records located under N300SQ. 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.
