Saab Ab SAAB 2000

ValidFAA registration status code V: Valid registration. All codesUtah

N516FR is a Saab Ab SAAB 2000, a fixed-wing airplane with more than one motor with turboprop engines. It has 58 seats. It is registered to Bank of Utah Trustee, a corporation in Salt Lake City, Utah. The registration is valid: it was issued on August 7, 2023 and expires on August 31, 2030. No airworthiness certificate is on file, which is normal for drones and for aircraft still being built or tested.

Listed on the FAA charter and air-taxi certificate of Freight Runners Express, Inc., so it can be flown for hire; the registered owner is someone else, which is usual for a managed aircraft.

The public federal record on N516FR, 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.

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

CLEARTail number reuse

No other airframe has carried N516FR according to the deregistered file. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

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]
