A biplane of the 1920s and 1930s: steel-tube fuselage, wooden wings, fabric covering. This is how the Waco UBF family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.

The public federal record on N12002, 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.
Valid registration to Coonan Gary M, an individual, certificate issued September 10, 2021, expires September 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for normal; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 3619 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N12002 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Raven Industries Inc. S45A (serial 101, cancelled May 16, 1974). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
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]
No NTSB investigation records located under N12002. 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.
