N312MA is a Learjet Inc 45, a fixed-wing airplane with more than one motor with turbofan engines. It has 12 seats. It is registered to Magnum Air LLC, an LLC in Chicago, Illinois. The registration is valid: it was issued on April 11, 2018 and expires on April 30, 2028. No airworthiness certificate is on file, which is normal for drones and for aircraft still being built or tested.

The public federal record on N312MA, 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 Magnum Air LLC, an LLC, certificate issued April 11, 2018, expires April 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]

N312MA was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Mitsubishi MU-2B-25 (serial 266, cancelled September 25, 2012). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

2 NTSB records under N312MA: Accident on May 25, 2005 at Hillsboro, OR: fatal, substantial damage (4 fatal). Incident on August 5, 1982 at St. Joseph, MO: no 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.
NTSB records 2
Aircraft on the NTSB record: Mitsubishi MU-2B-25 · operated under 091
The pilot's failure to obtain minimum controllable airspeed during the takeoff climb, which resulted in a loss of aircraft control when the left engine lost partial power. A fatigue failure to an oil tube, which resulted in the partial power loss to the left engine, procedures/directives not followed by the pilot, and the pilot's lack of recent experience and no recurrent training in the type of aircraft were factors.
