The public federal record on N47123, 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 Pittsburgh Aviation Enterprises INC, a corporation, certificate issued May 9, 2008, expires April 30, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 29, 1946, 3 years after the 1943 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 5133 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N47123 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Aeronca 65-TAC (serial 3282, cancelled June 29, 1951). 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]
1 NTSB record under N47123: Accident on June 7, 2026 at Renovo, PA: no injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
