The public federal record on N333PN, 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.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to Sky West Aviation INC Trustee, a corporation, certificate issued October 5, 2026, expires October 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated July 29, 2021, 21 years after the 2000 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]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 333 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N333PN was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-30 (serial 30-1480, cancelled April 16, 2003). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

ATTENTIONRecent registry documents

1 loan or lien document received by the registry recently (October 5, 2026). The full title and lien picture is in the FAA aircraft records file. [3]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N333PN. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms

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.

PENDINGAirworthiness directives and utilization

AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
