The public federal record on N45CM, 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 West Sport Aviation LLC, an LLC, certificate issued August 14, 2025, expires August 31, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Experimental certificate for amateur built, dated July 26, 2017, consistent with the 2016 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial C00425 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N45CM was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: S N I A S AS350D ASTAR (serial 1463, cancelled August 1, 2006); Aero Commander 680FL P (serial 150117, cancelled August 12, 1993). 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]
No NTSB investigation records located under N45CM. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [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.
