The airworthiness certificate on file is dated January 17, 2003, 8 years after the 1995 manufacture year.

The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]

N1086F was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 172N (serial 17272952, cancelled April 3, 2008). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
