The public federal record on N40224, 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

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N40224 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-23-250 (serial 27-7305023, cancelled June 6, 1973). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record
