The public federal record on N980SM, 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 Muncie Aviation CO, a corporation, certificate issued , expires date not given. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]

N980SM was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Robinson Helicopter R22 BETA (serial 1980, cancelled October 8, 2008). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

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.
