The public federal record on N24202, 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.
Valid registration to United Airlines INC, a corporation, certificate issued December 9, 2021, expires December 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 23, 2026, 26 years after the 2000 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]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 30429 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N24202 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Aeronca 50-F (serial F-6679, cancelled November 20, 1968). 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]
2 NTSB records under N24202: Accident on December 14, 2016 at Denver, CO: serious injuries. Incident on December 16, 2006 at Colorado Spring, CO: minor injuries, minor damage. Details below. [4]
