The public federal record on N2602F, 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.

The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]

N2602F was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 182J (serial 18256702, cancelled October 6, 2005). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
