The public federal record on N44145, 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.

ATTENTIONRegistration and identity

Registration status is "Sale reported". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated November 21, 2007, 3 years after the 2004 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 82055-1 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N44145 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Brackenbury Donald R VOLKSPLANE VP-2 (serial B1, cancelled August 11, 1997); Taylorcraft BC12-D1 (serial 9945, cancelled October 3, 1974). 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 N44145. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms
