Registration status is "Registration pending". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [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]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial VL-3-573 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N98AB was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Lind Laird AIRBIKE (serial AB212AMW, cancelled September 6, 2019). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
