The public federal record on N6005T, 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 Sheffield William E, an individual, certificate issued September 16, 2009, expires April 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated September 14, 2006, 3 years after the 2003 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]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial T03110 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N6005T was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Beech C23 (serial M2120, cancelled May 14, 1998); Cessna 150D (serial 15060705, cancelled August 10, 1964). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [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]

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.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
