The public federal record on N589AE, 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 Air Evac Ems INC, a corporation, certificate issued April 3, 2024, expires April 30, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 52489 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N589AE was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: American Eurocopter Llc MBB-BK 117 C-2 (serial 9223, cancelled April 15, 2009). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N589AE. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
