The public federal record on N2481X, 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 Cross Gary D, an individual, certificate issued July 18, 2007, expires April 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated October 5, 2007, 9 years after the 1998 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 4425 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N2481X was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Piper PA-28-161 (serial 288516088, cancelled December 12, 1988); Cessna 182H (serial 18256381, cancelled June 18, 1965). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
