The public federal record on N16170, 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.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to United Airlines INC, a corporation, certificate issued May 18, 2020, expires May 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 14500850 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N16170 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Cessna 150L (serial 15073519, cancelled January 19, 1989); Stinson SR-8D (serial 9745, cancelled September 2, 1937). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record
