The public federal record on N440RM, 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 Regional Air Medical Services INC, a corporation, certificate issued April 5, 2025, expires April 30, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated June 3, 2011, consistent with the 2010 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 7017 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N440RM was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Lockheed 1329 (serial 5016, cancelled April 1, 2013). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

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]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N440RM. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
