The public federal record on N2479S, 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 Carlson James M, an individual, certificate issued January 4, 2007, expires May 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated December 12, 2007, 7 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 SR7XL-2429 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N2479S was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 337C (serial 337-0779, cancelled January 15, 2002). 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]
1 NTSB record under N2479S: Accident on May 18, 2001 at Paauilo, HI: no injuries, destroyed. Details below. [4]
