The public federal record on N46PN, 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

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 1, 2021, 8 years after the 2013 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 PN-001 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

CLEARTail number reuse

No other airframe has carried N46PN according to the deregistered file. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (October 21, 2026). [3]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N46PN. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
