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.
Valid registration to Elliott Christopher K, an individual, certificate issued December 12, 2016, expires December 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 2, 2009, 5 years after the 2004 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 PC120753W408 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
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]
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]
2 NTSB records under N2602F: Accident on July 19, 2004 at Farmington, NM: no injuries, substantial damage. Accident on October 29, 1986 at England Afb, LA: no injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
