The public federal record on N85JK, 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 Sor Aviation LLC, an LLC, certificate issued August 30, 2022, expires August 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated November 29, 2016, 8 years after the 2008 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 454 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
