Records check free · 1 to understand · 4 clear

The public federal record on N2488F, 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 Hatter Dan D, an individual, certificate issued June 29, 2015, expires June 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal; utility, dated January 16, 1979, consistent with the 1979 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 38-79A0474 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N2488F was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 180H (serial 18051690, cancelled January 13, 1970). 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 N2488F. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
