The public federal record on N6163R, 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 Sai Flight Services INC, a corporation, certificate issued , expires date not given. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial E-1967 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
