The public federal record on N2227A, 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.

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N2227A was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-22-135 (serial 22-625, cancelled October 28, 1977). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
