The public federal record on N2171Z, 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 Mcmillan Seth W, an individual, certificate issued August 7, 2017, expires August 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 20, 1994, 24 years after the 1970 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 18052136 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N2171Z was previously assigned to 3 other aircraft: Hughes 369HS (serial 890112S, cancelled January 11, 1991); Piper PA-28RT-201T (serial 28R7931163, cancelled June 2, 1989); Cessna 180F (serial 18051271, cancelled June 3, 1963). 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]

CLEARAccident and incident record
