The public federal record on N459TH, 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 Hlavaty Troy Edward, an individual, certificate issued September 22, 2022, expires September 30, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated October 19, 2022, 42 years after the 1980 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 18267544 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
