The public federal record on N30EA, 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 Eagle Air Transport INC, a corporation, certificate issued May 25, 1999, expires April 30, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 10, 1998, 30 years after the 1968 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 191 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N30EA was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Bell 206L-3 (serial 51037, cancelled March 16, 1989); Bell 206B (serial 1580, cancelled date not given). 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]
2 NTSB records under N30EA: Accident on February 9, 2015 at Sebastian, FL: no injuries, substantial damage. Accident on June 16, 2001 at Ottawa, IL: serious injuries, minor 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.
