The public federal record on N97KL, 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.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to Semper Paratus Td I LLC, an LLC, certificate issued October 20, 2026, expires October 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated January 12, 2013, 6 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]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 258876 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

CLEARTail number reuse

No other airframe has carried N97KL according to the deregistered file. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

2 documents received recently: Loan release (September 25, 2026), Disclaimer (October 21, 2026). [3]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N97KL. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms

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.

PENDINGAirworthiness directives and utilization

AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
