The public federal record on N31788, 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 Falcontrust Holdings LLC, an LLC, certificate issued December 28, 2022, expires December 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated January 19, 2010, 3 years after the 2007 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 UA004 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N31788 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Boeing-Vertol 219 CH47C (serial D043, cancelled December 6, 1978); Aeronca 65-TL (serial L-6570T, cancelled August 28, 1963). 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]
