The public federal record on N412ES, 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 Aspen Helicopters INC, a corporation, certificate issued April 29, 2022, expires April 30, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated March 1, 2021, 15 years after the 2006 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 36423 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N412ES was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Beech 95-B55 (T42A) (serial TC-2198, cancelled March 5, 2009). 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]
1 NTSB record under N412ES: Accident on November 24, 2008 at Whites Creek, TN: fatal, destroyed (3 fatal). 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.

The pilot's failure to feather the left propeller and secure the left engine following the total loss of left engine power, and his subsequent failure to maintain airspeed, lateral, and directional control of the airplane.
