Findings
- Context
Re-registered from N27QJ to N591QX in Jul 2019
Records, listings and ADS-B history from before the change sit under N27QJ, so search both.
- Look into
About 3.4 years registered in Florida
Fort Lauderdale, then Boca Raton. Salt exposure is the main corrosion risk for most types; the address is the registrant's, so confirm where it was kept.
- Look into
Registration pending in the 2023 file
Normal paperwork lag during a sale, but confirm the bill of sale date and whether the airplane flew while it was pending.
- Look into
A 43-day parked stretch, Nov 2025
Fits an annual inspection or other maintenance. Ask for the sign-off and the squawk list.
- Clear
No NTSB accident or incident records
Checked by serial number under N27QJ and N591QX.
- Clear
Registration current until May 2030
Valid in every file except the pending period.
The story, in brief
This 2016 airframe first appears in the record in Apr 2016 registered to Lone Star Aero Holdings LLC in Georgetown, TX as N27QJ. Two more registrants follow: Blue Latitude Aviation LLC (Florida, 2019), High Mesa Flight LLC (Colorado, 2023). The 2023 file shows the registration pending between owners. In the last year it flew 143 detected flights, about 220 hours, mostly from KAPA. No accidents or incidents are on file.

Where it has lived
Texas, Florida, then Colorado.
An airframe carries its environment with it. Each place on record points to something specific to look at during a pre-buy. Places are the registrant's published address, so confirm where the airplane was actually kept.
Hot and humid
Hot, humid summers mean high cabin and panel temperatures and damp hangars.
Look at: interior and panel condition, avionics cooling, and corrosion in hidden areas.
Coastal, salt air
Coastal basing is the biggest corrosion risk in general aviation, especially for an airplane kept outside.
Look at: landing gear, flap tracks, fasteners and belly skins; ask where it was hangared.
High elevation, dry
High-elevation takeoffs and climbs run the engine hard, and dry air is kind to metal.
Look at: cylinder and exhaust history, and turbo records on turbocharged types.

FAA registry chronology
Every snapshot, with the changes highlighted.
The FAA publishes the full aircraft registry every year. Stabilator keeps each yearly file, finds this airframe by its serial number regardless of tail number, and flags what changed from one file to the next.

How to read the changes
- New registrant and new certificate date together mean a sale (2019, 2023).
- Address change alone (2021) means the same owner moved; it isn't a transfer.
- Registration pending (2023) is the gap between a reported sale and the new certificate.
- Tail change (2019) moved the airframe to a new N-number and Mode S code.

Identity and safety
One airframe under two names, checked under all of them.

N591QX
2019 – today
Blue Latitude Aviation → High Mesa Flight
Why this matters. Most lookup tools key on the tail number, so an airframe's history quietly resets when its N-number changes. Records, listings, accident searches and ADS-B tracks before 2019 sit under N27QJ.
Same airframe, serial SAMPLE-1597. The Mode S (ADS-B) code changes with the tail.
Safety chronology
| Source | Searched by | Period | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| NTSB accident and incident database | Serial SAMPLE-1597, N27QJ, N591QX | 2016 – Sep 2026 | No records |
| FAA registry status | Every yearly file and the current record | 2016 – 2026 | Registration pending (2023) |
What "no records" means. The NTSB database covers accidents and the incidents it chooses to investigate. Minor ground damage and hangar rash usually never reach it; that history lives in the logbooks, so ask for any major repair or alteration (FAA Form 337) filings.
What the registry can't tell you
Total time
Airframe and engine hours come from the logbooks. ADS-B shows recent pace (about 223 h/yr now), not a lifetime total.
Title and liens
This isn't a title search. Use an aviation title company to check recorded liens and security interests before closing.
Condition
Nothing here replaces a pre-buy by a shop that knows the type. Use this report to aim that inspection.
Take this to the seller
Eight questions this airframe's history raises.
Each question comes from something in the record: a tail change, a place, a registration gap, a parked stretch, the type's own maintenance calendar. Print this page and bring it to the pre-buy.
Records continuity
Can I see the complete logbooks, including the years under N27QJ?
Why we ask: The tail changed. Early entries can get separated from the current set.
Salt exposure
Where was it kept while registered in Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton, and what corrosion findings came up at those annuals?
Why we ask: About 3.4 years registered in a coastal state.
The sale
What is the bill of sale date, and was the airplane flown while registration was pending in 2023?
Why we ask: The 2023 file lists Registration Pending between Blue Latitude Aviation LLC and High Mesa Flight LLC.
Who maintained it
Which shops maintained it under each owner?
Why we ask: Three registrants on file; history can be split across shops.
Last annual
When was the last annual signed off, and what was on the squawk list?
Why we ask: The 43-day parked stretch from Nov 2025 fits an annual.
Parachute
When were the parachute repacked and the rocket motor replaced?
Why we ask: A 10-year interval puts service around 2026 on a 2016 airframe.
Engine
What's the engine time since overhaul, and the cylinder and oil-analysis history?
Why we ask: About 223 observed hours a year. FAA records list a TSIO-550-K, with a manufacturer TBO of 2,000 h (2,200 h for engines S/N 1006000 and later), or 12 calendar years; confirm the installed engine from the data plate.
Oxygen
When was the oxygen bottle last hydrostatically tested?
Why we ask: 29 flights in the flight levels last year.

Model context
What every Cirrus SR22T buyer should know, applied to this one.
One reference card per aircraft type, researched from manufacturer and FAA sources and shared across reports, reviewed and approved. The right-hand column is where this airframe's record meets the type.
| Type fact | Detail | This airframe |
|---|---|---|
| Parachute | Repack and rocket motor replacement every 10 years. | Built 2016, so service falls around 2026. Confirm the dates. |
| Engine | FAA records list a TSIO-550-K. Continental SIL98-9E: 2,000 h (2,200 h for engines S/N 1006000 and later), or 12 calendar years. | Recent pace about 223 h/yr. Verify the installed engine and serial from the data plate and logbooks, and who did the last overhaul. |
| Turbo and oxygen | Turbocharged; max operating altitude 25,000 ft for the SR22T G5. Oxygen rules in 14 CFR 91.211 apply above 12,500 ft. | 29 flights in the flight levels last year. |
| Corrosion | Steel and aluminum parts in the gear, flap system and fasteners corrode in salt air on any type. | 3.4 yrs registered in Florida. |
| Performance | SR22T G5: 213 KTAS max cruise; 1,021 nm range (POH range table: 55% power at 25,000 ft). | Longest leg 822 nm |
| Note | Turbo, exhaust and intercooler condition are key pre-buy items; ask for engine-monitor TIT and CHT history. | Ask the seller. |
| Note | Not pressurized. 14 CFR 91.211 requires crew oxygen above 12,500 ft after 30 minutes, continuously above 14,000 ft, and oxygen for every occupant above 15,000 ft; check the oxygen system and the bottle's hydrostatic test date. | Ask the seller. |
About type reference data. Figures describe the model, not this airframe (card rev. 2026.9.3). Performance comes from a profile for this model's generation, with its range basis stated; the engine is as FAA records list it, so the data plate and logbooks govern; TBO is a manufacturer recommendation, not a Part 91 limit unless an AD requires it. Use the aircraft's own POH, logbooks and a pre-buy for decisions.
Method and limits
How this report was built.
Identity first
Stabilator resolves every airframe to its manufacturer, model and serial, then links each tail number and Mode S code it has carried. Every section follows that airframe.
Registry history
The FAA's yearly releasable registry files, plus the current record. Owner periods start at certificate issue dates where the record has one; otherwise a change can only be placed within the year of the file that first shows it.
Places and environment
Places are the registrant's published mailing address, not where the airplane was kept. Environment notes are state-level, sharpened by the registrant city's distance to the coast where it's known, and describe the region, not this airframe's condition.
Safety
NTSB accident and incident records attached by serial number together with a tail number this airframe carried or the same manufacturer and model, or by tail number within a registration period when the record lists no serial. An event is never attached by tail number or serial alone, or before the airframe was built.
Operations
ADS-B observations for the trailing twelve months, split into flights. Earlier years are not included.
Limits
Public records and observed data only. This isn't a title or lien search, an airworthiness determination, a valuation or a pre-buy inspection, and it can't see logbooks. Registrant names are shown as the FAA publishes them. Verify independently before any transaction.
Notes on the record
- A snapshot names the registrant REGISTRATION PENDING. That placeholder is not an identified buyer, even if the type code is 1.
The FAA aircraft-record package (applications, bills of sale and security documents) is not included. Registration: FAA Aircraft Registry. Safety: NTSB, matched to the airframe. Flight observations: community ADS-B network data under the Open Database License (ODbL) 1.0. Full credits are on the data sources page.
