The public federal record on N65WS, 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 Albatross Aviation LLC, an LLC, certificate issued October 13, 2026, expires October 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 3083 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N65WS was previously assigned to 3 other aircraft: Smithers Donald W PIETENPOL AERIAL (serial 1404, cancelled May 29, 2020); Cessna 500 (serial 500-0076, cancelled June 20, 2007); Sterchi Wolland W SONERAI-I (serial 030, cancelled May 12, 1993). 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]
No NTSB investigation records located under N65WS. 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.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
