The public federal record on N2286Y, 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.

No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]

N2286Y was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 177 (serial 17700086, cancelled March 12, 1997). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

1 NTSB record under N2286Y: Accident on October 8, 1996 at Ringgold, GA: minor injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
