The public federal record on N1979G, 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

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial AA5B1041 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N1979G was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 414 (serial 414-0607, cancelled May 22, 1975). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N1979G. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
