Records check free · 2 to understand · 3 clear

The public federal record on N43453, 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 Ra Ventures LLC, an LLC, certificate issued December 20, 2017, expires December 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate

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]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial H2-04-15-624 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N43453 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Agusta Spa A109C (serial 7613, cancelled July 16, 1998); Piper PA-28-151 (serial 287415497, cancelled November 17, 1981). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
