The public federal record on N98JC, 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 50 One Aviation LLC, an LLC, certificate issued February 26, 2018, expires February 29, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated November 30, 2012, consistent with the 2010 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 56082 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N98JC was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Clevenger STARDUSTER SA-300 (serial 579, cancelled May 30, 2013). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

No bills of sale, loans or releases have reached the registry in recent weeks. The index covers only recent filings; older liens are in the records file. [3]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N98JC. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
