The public federal record on N2086H, 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.

ATTENTIONRegistration and identity

Registration status is "Registration expired, pending cancellation". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Experimental certificate for amateur built, dated February 20, 2003, consistent with the 2003 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial H2-96-7-295 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N2086H was previously assigned to 3 other aircraft: Boeing Company CH47-414 (serial M4518, cancelled October 21, 1998); Balloon Works FIREFLY 7 (serial 792, cancelled March 16, 1994); Ercoupe 415-C (serial 2709, cancelled February 20, 1951). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record
