The public federal record on N17KH, 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 Hubatch Kenneth A, a co-owned, certificate issued March 6, 2013, expires March 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for normal; acrobatic, dated May 24, 1991, consistent with the 1991 manufacture year. [1]

N17KH was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-39 (serial 3926, cancelled July 22, 1988). 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 N17KH. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
