The public federal record on N53HL, 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 US Leaseco INC, a non-citizen corporation, certificate issued September 29, 2026, expires September 30, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Restricted certificate for agriculture and pest control; forest; other; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 156668 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N53HL 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 N53HL. 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.
