The public federal record on N805SW, 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 Sweasy Anthony T, an individual, certificate issued August 30, 2019, expires August 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated November 17, 2022, 3 years after the 2019 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 120727 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N805SW was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Short Bros. & Harland SD3-30 (serial SH3055, cancelled February 2, 2006); Piper PA-31T (serial 31T8020037, cancelled date not given). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
