The public federal record on N2489N, 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.

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 38-79A0871 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N2489N was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 140 (serial 12742, cancelled May 8, 1950). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N2489N. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
