The public federal record on N16002, 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 Commonweath of Massachusetts, a government body, certificate issued September 29, 2023, expires September 30, 2030. 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 0194E for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N16002 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Cessna 150L (serial 15073401, cancelled May 29, 1974); Douglas DC3 (serial 1496, cancelled June 20, 1949). 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 N16002. 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.
