The public federal record on N47WH, 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 International Air Services INC Trustee, a corporation, certificate issued March 12, 2025, expires March 31, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 8, 2025, 22 years after the 2003 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]

N47WH was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Robinson Helicopter R22 (serial 3525, cancelled September 13, 2018). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
