The public federal record on N874, 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 High Performance Helicopters CORP, a corporation, certificate issued February 22, 2012, expires February 29, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated January 7, 2011, 46 years after the 1965 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 65-12874 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N874 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Sikorsky S-55 (serial 551004, cancelled March 11, 2013); Stinson SB-1 (serial 3, cancelled June 8, 1931). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
2 documents received recently: Disclaimer (September 16, 2026), Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (September 16, 2026). [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N874. 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.
