The public federal record on N573M, 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 Bohlke LLC, an LLC, certificate issued April 23, 2026, expires April 30, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for transport, dated September 16, 2003, consistent with the 2003 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 550-1066 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N573M was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Spartan C3-165 (serial 127, cancelled July 15, 1943). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [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]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N573M. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
