If an aircraft has a reserved N number, is registered but has not yet received an Airworthiness Certificate, will the N number still need to be renewed before it is a year old?
If you want to keep that N number, you will need to renew it EVERY year. If you miss the renewal, someone else can snag it...ask me how I know!
Are you sure about that? He said its is registered - once you assign an N-Number to a Registration, I don?t think it makes any difference if the AWC is valid or not - the registration people don't talk to the Airworthiness people.
Prior to assigning the reserved N-number to a registration, absolutely!
I could, however be wrong - just how I think it works.

Reserved N-number does NOT equal Registered Aircraft N-number.
Not sure you can register an aircraft that has no airworthiness certificate.

I think the aircraft must be registered prior to the airworthiness inspection.

You can't even APPLY for airworthiness certificate without registration!
And the corollary of that is you can register a crate of parts LONG before airworthiness is even a possibility....not recommended, as you might not finish the thing creating a problem about where the airplane went to, but it can be done.
The EAA recommendation is to apply for your registration about 6 months before your ready for your AWC inspection. Earlier is generally better than later.
My recommendation is to register 6-8 weeks prior to completion. Most original registrations go through within 2-3 weeks.
