The airworthiness certificate on file is dated July 23, 1990, 12 years after the 1978 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 38-79A0202 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N2488C was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 180 (serial 30788, cancelled September 11, 1958). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
