The public federal record on N409AM, 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.

N409AM was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Diamond Aircraft DA20-C1 (serial C0343, cancelled July 6, 2016). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
