The public federal record on N2331U, 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 United Airlines INC, a corporation, certificate issued December 21, 2016, expires December 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for transport, dated December 21, 2016, consistent with the 2016 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 62642 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N2331U was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 172D (serial 17249931, cancelled July 14, 2009). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

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

No NTSB investigation records located under N2331U. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
