The public federal record on N714KJ, 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 Shortt Aircraft Leasing LLC, an LLC, certificate issued November 6, 2024, expires November 30, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated December 20, 2012, 5 years after the 2007 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 40.888 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N714KJ was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 150M (serial 15079232, cancelled February 23, 1981). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
