The public federal record on N485PC, 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.
Registration status is "First notice for registration renewal". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]
Standard certificate for normal, dated March 17, 2003, consistent with the 2003 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 485 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N485PC according to the deregistered file. [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 N485PC. 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.
