The public federal record on N5138J, 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

Valid registration to Gonzalez Jaime Trustee, a co-owned, certificate issued January 4, 2016, expires January 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated October 6, 2009, 7 years after the 2002 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 T99045 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N5138J was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Boeing CH 47SD (serial M4144, cancelled April 17, 2002); Cessna 172N (serial 17273712, cancelled December 11, 1996). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
