The public federal record on N998JS, 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.
Registration status is "Registration pending, pending cancellation". 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 18103C for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N998JS according to the deregistered file. [2]
2 documents received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (October 7, 2026), Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (October 13, 2026). [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N998JS. 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.
